| 6 | 100 Pounds | Image | With winged bulls with human heads frame a scene of a river, which is probably the Tigris. The winged bulls are copied from decorations found at Sargon’s Palace at Khorsabad. (The carvings of the winged bulls, on which the drawings are based, are now in the Louvre, in Paris.) In the top corners of the note are depictions of winged suns. During the Assyrian reign of Mesopotamia these devices symbolized the god Ashur. |
