The Lion Twins – British Museum, Bloomsbury, London, England

The Lion Twins – British Museum, Bloomsbury, London, England

An entrance to the royal palace of King Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 BCE) at Nimrud was flanked by two colossal winged human-headed lions. These protective spirits guarded the way into what may have been a banqueting hall.
