text_original: This bas relief was used in great degree as a form of historical composition, and there were court sculptors who made a business of immortalizing in this way the royal exploits in hunting and warfare, and such peaceful scenes as the king dining with his queen in the palace gar  den. The sculptor also carved mammoth bulls and lions to terrify the enemy from the gates of the city, but it was in the relief work that he met his greatest success.
