Horse-drawn chariot with charioteer and archer

"Seals 659 and 660 correspond most closely with reliefs of Ashurnasirpal. The chariots are rendered with the characteristic spear protruding at the back, the two crossed quivers at the side the yoke ending in a bird's head, and the six-spoked wheel. In 659 a fallen bull lies under the horse, as in one of the Ashurnasirpal reliefs. The same motif may be intended in 660, though here the bull is standing and the forelegs of the horse are carved across its neck. The usual pair of figures, archer and charioteer, appears in 660, while 659 shows only an archer. The relations iwth the Ashurnasirpal reliefs are sufficient to establish a date early in the ninth century for 659 and 660. Moreover, the chevron borders in 659, as well as the large size of both seals, are characteristic of early linear-style seals."--Porada, CANES, p. 79
