Abstract :
The excavation of room 1 in the partially exposed Neo-Assyrian builing of Area E at Til Barsib led to the discovery of a group of wall-painting fragments. Unfortunately, it was impossible to make a complete reconstruction of their decorative patterns due to their deteriorated condition. All the fragments had been detached from the wall and lay scattered amongst the collapse on the room's floor. This article describes those pieces and proposes a reconstruction of the murals.
