The reliefs were discovered here in Nineveh but the precise location needs to be found. 

Description


Lachish relief

The Lachish relief is a set of Assyrian stone panels narrating the story of the Assyrian victory over Judea during the siege of Lachish in 701 BCE. Carved between 700-681 BCE, as a decoration of the South-West Palace of Sennacherib in Nineveh, the relief is today exhibited at the British museum in London. The palace room, where the relief was discovered in 1845-47, was fully covered with the "Lachish relief" and was 12 meters wide and 5,10 meters long.[2]
