@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum a pine cone in one hand & is that a purse or a cooking pot in the other?
@ainiladra @bristolmuseum It's said to be a bucket, poss holding a 'magical substance' that the demon is scattering with the pinecone(??)
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum pinecone is an ancient symbol, often connected to the third eye. 'magical substance' is whose speculation?
@ainiladra the interpretation board at @bristolmuseum offers it :)
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum could be water he dips the pinecone into & sprinkles around. like a holy water thing. all a guessing game :)
@ainiladra @bristolmuseum Could be! :)
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum @AllBriefs Was it stolen or how it came to @bristolmuseum?
@matjazg @bristolmuseum @AllBriefs Purchased from Bristol Fine Arts Academy in 1905, who acquired from Sir Henry Rawlinson
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum @AllBriefs Thanks, but you unlikely have any idea how Sir Rawlinson got it, don't you?
@matjazg @bristolmuseum @AllBriefs I assume direct from the excavator, Layard, who he supported--others at the British Museum.
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum @AllBriefs Thanks, madam! 
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum could it symbolise governance? Giving water to roots, displaying the resulting seed?pic.twitter.com/pEtT8OolQZ
@skgg1g09 thanks for sharing--fascinating! :)
@caitlinrgreen I'm probably way of the mark but just going with a 'say what you see' approach! :)
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum What does the inscription say?
@journeymanhisto @bristolmuseum It's the 'Standard Inscription' of Ashurnasirpal II, see http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/nimrud/livesofobjects/standardinscription/ …
@caitlinrgreen @bristolmuseum Amazing, an ancient press release, but longer term. Did they come with instructions that they be read aloud?
