Izdubar and Heabani with the Lion and Bull
Human and hybrid figures grapple with animals across a narrow horizontal relief. The printed caption identifies Izdubar and Heabani in conflict with the lion and bull. The names follow George Smith’s historical reading in The Chaldean Account of Genesis. Keeping the whole panel preserves the relation between the two animal encounters.
