  • Monique Seefried, consulting curator of Near Eastern Art at the Michael C. Carlos Museum, describes this stone palace wall relief panel of an Assyrian winged deity from the Palace of Ashurnasirpal II (reigned 883-859 BCE) from the ancient city of Nimrud, capital of the Neo-Assyrian Empire, in present-day Iraq. It is north of Baghdad, 21 miles SE of Mosul.

    I’m American/Iranian first generation and been doing a lot of soul searching and history learning during the last 4 years and especially on my background and finally someone has explained what the deal is about the handbag 👜 and pinecone combination. Thank you very much for your presentation.

    "I have made a pillar facing the city gate, and have flayed all the rebel leaders; I have clad the pillar in the flayed skins... I let the leaders of the conquered cities be flayed, and clad the city walls with their skins, the captives, I have killed by the sword and flung on the dung heap, the little boys and girls were burnt." - Ashurnasirpal II

      Also….did you even watch the video? She said that the bucket is a vessel for holy water. It can be assumed that the image is reflective of an actual Assyrian ceremonies and it is representative of an anointing ritual.
      So the bucket represents a bucket used in a sacred ceremony. But it is a bucket nonetheless.
