لوحة جدارية مكتشفة في كالح النمرود شمال العراق تعود الحضارة الاشورية تاريخ 730 قبل الميلاد يصف النص الموجود على هذه اللوحة حملة عسكرية للملك Tiglath-pileser III واسم المدينة الممثلة Astartu وهي مدينة تقع في الأرض الواقعة شرق نهر الأردن
تظهر Astartu على أنها مدينة محصنة نموذجية في الشرق الأوسط ، مبنية على قمة تل توجد أبراج على مواقع متباعدة على طول الأسوار ، وبوابة عالية للمدينة ؛ في الداخل ، في الأعلى على اليسار ، يوجد مبنى ذو مدخل مقنطر ، ربما القلعة. لقد تم الاستيلاء على البلدة وتم إبعاد سكانها جندي آشوري يلوح بصولجان يرافق أربعة سجناء يحملون ممتلكاتهم في أكياس على أكتافهم. تظهر ملابسهم وعماماتهم ، التي ترتفع هي سمة مميزة للمنطقة التي كان يحكمها ملوك مملكة يهوذا التوراتية ، يظهرون على منحوتات أخرى ، يرتدون نفس الثوب. وفوقهم ، يقودهم جندي آشوري كانوا سيقابلون الملك الآشوري ،و يشاهدون قواته وغنائمهم.
في الجزء السفلي ، يظهر الملك Tiglath-pileser III نفسه في عربة تحت مظلة يمسكها شخص يرتدي الملك القبعة الملكية وعباءة مهدبة. مرفوعة يده اليمنى واليسرى يحمل فيها زهرة
Gypsum wall panel relief; carved in low relief; the text on this panel describes a campaign in the north, but the upper composition represented a campaign in the west, and the name of the town represented, Astartu, is given in a caption at the top. Astartu is shown as a typical Middle Eastern fortress town, built on top of a mound which probably covered the remains of much older settlements. There are towers at intervals along the walls, and a high town gate; inside, at the top on the left, is a building with an arched entrance, perhaps the citadel. The town has just been captured and its inhabitants are being marched away. An Assyrian soldier waving a mace escorts four prisoners, who carry their possessions in sacks over their shoulders. Their clothes and their turbans, rising to a slight point which flops backwards, are typical of the area; people from the Biblical Kingdom of Judah , shown on other sculptures, wear the same dress. Above them a second Assyrian soldier is driving two fat-tailed sheep. Further to the right they would have met the Assyrian king, reviewing his troops and their booty.
In the lower register, the king Tiglath-pileser III himself appears in a chariot under his tasselled state parasol, which is held by a eunuch. He wears the royal hat, somewhat higher than the ninth-century type, and a fringed robe. His right hand is raised, while his left holds a flower. His chariot is larger than the ninth-century type, with a quiver at the front, and the wheels have eight spokes rather than six. The patterns on the cloth hanging between the front of the chariot and the yoke include a winged disc, a solar symbol of great significance throughout the Ancient Near East. The charioteer holds three reins, but two horses are actually shown drawing the chariot, gaily caparisoned and led by a pair of grooms wearing quivers. The one man visible in the poorly preserved chariot to the right once held a pole with a circular ornament on top; this was one of the sacred standards which accompanied the Assyrians into battle.
