Ninurta and Anzu: The Winged Battle from Nimrud
A winged, bearded figure with raised weapons confronts a lion-headed winged creature. The source reproduces the Nimrud relief under an older identification as Marduk fighting Tiamat. The same image is now discussed as Ninurta and Anzu in the University of Pennsylvania’s Nimrud project, which documents the former museum labels. The opposing bodies and spreading wings make the struggle legible in the book’s simplified line reproduction.
