Français : Relief de tête de génie ailé provenant de la salle de reception S du palais nord-ouest d'Asurbanipal II ( 883 av. J.-C. - 859 av. J.-C.) à Nimroud (Khalu). Ce relief, scié en 1850 par l'archéologue Austen Henry Layard pour l'offrir au capitaine John Hope, faisait partie d'une scène de rituel de "Dévotion à l'arbre de vie" représentée au palais d'Assurbanipal II.
