Curator’s comments
A pair with 1850,1228.4. Part B belongs behind part A; part B changed from 118809B in 1968 after move from Assyrian. As at present arranged the panels are wrongly placed; they should be behind the bulls, facing the tail, not at the side, facing the bull’s front. See Gadd, ‘Stones of Assyria’, p. 110, as to the original position.
