Monuments of Ninevah: Plate 6, Fish-god (Nimroud); Figure near an Entrance (Kouyunjik)

The image depicts two vertical, rectangular illustrations side by side. The left illustration shows a male figure with a beard and a headpiece resembling a fish. The figure is wearing a garment that covers the lower body and has a long fringe. The upper body is bare except for bracelets on both wrists. The figure's right arm is bent at the elbow, and the left arm hangs down by the side. The right illustration shows a male figure with long, curly hair and a beard. He is shirtless, wearing a loincloth and a belt around the waist. He holds a staff in both hands. Both illustrations appear to be drawn in a similar style and have a sepia-toned color. The background of both illustrations resembles stone. The illustrations have labels: "Fish-god (Nimroud)" on the left and "Figure near an Entrance (Kouyunjik)" on the right.
