Marks, Prof. Richard Charles, (born 2 July 1945), Professor in Medieval Stained Glass, University of York, 1992–2008, now Emeritus Professor of History of Art (Head, Department of History of Art, 2002–04); Honorary Professor of History of Art, University of Cambridge, 2008–12; Bye-Fellow, since 2008, and Keeper of Works of Art, since 2010, Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge

The orthostats from the North-West Palace of Ashurnasirpal II (883–859 BC) at Nimrud are among the most outstanding works of art from the Ancient Near East. Today they are to be found in museums all over the world and are looked at every day by thousands of visitors. Numerous books and articles have been written about their style, their meaning and their reconstruction. Thus one would think that nothing could have escaped the eye of observers. Nevertheless, some details have been largely overlooked by researchers. Among these is the incised decoration on the edges of the garments of some of the figures depicted, showing a wide range of simple geometric and floral designs as well as complex mythical and narrative scenes. It thus forms a valuable part of the repertoire of Neo-Assyrian artistic motifs and can help us understand the essence and meaning of Neo-Assyrian political art. The evidence of these incised decorations is not only of importance for the history of art but is also fundamental to the understanding of the significance of the clothes and of the figures wearing them, forming an integral and essential part of the mythical symbolic character of the figures.
