Drawing/watercolor of an Assyrian King adoring two gods, each of whom are "riding on" beasts associated with them. Note that the gods are actually standing on a "firmanent" which in turn is supported by the beast's back- rather like Ezekiel's notion of the Cherubim supporting a "firmanent" above their heads that God's throne sits upon.
