(eds.), Assyria to Iberia at the Dawn of the Classical Age, New York, 2014, pp.89, 91-92 fig.2.17, cat.no.35a; for examples of the similarities between the Assyrian apkallu and Urartian spirits and deities, see two wall reliefs from Nimrud at the British Museum (inv. nos. 124561 & 102487). 3.75 kg total, 59 cm including stand (33 1/4 in.).

These pieces of horse armour, destined to be the lateral protection for horses, were usually fixed at the four corners of the yoke (Connolly, 1986, p.17). Sometimes these side pendants provided protection for the upper part of horse's legs. Drawings and reconstructions of an Urartian chariot compiled from archaeological evidence shows the likely positioning on the shoulder of the horse (Gorelik, 1995, p.4). They served to protect the horse and also as symbols of divine protection. Similar pieces are visible on Assyrian reliefs (Born-Seidl, 1995, figs.53-54, relief from Nimrod; 62, from Assur; Curtis, 2013, pl.LXXV; Dezs?, 2012, pl.12-13).
