Description

Shafts are narrow strips tapering toward the distal ends; slots for head formed by folding over the proximal ends; heads pointed on ends extending out further from the shaft. It is conjectured that this group of miniatures are associated with the Late Assyrian rebuilding on the Ziggurat as a foundation deposit.
