This fragment preserves a raised border below which fans the branches of a date palm intertwined with grape vines with scrolling tendrils at their tips. For similar grape vines see the relief with lions relaxing in a garden from Ashurbanipal’s North Palace at Nineveh, now in the British Museum (fig. 239 in G. Brereton, ed., I am Ashurbanipal: King of the World, King of Assyria).
