Assyrian art often can be seen in the form of relief in stone and they are mainly views of battles or the exalting glory of kings. On the Assyrian pattern we often see honeysuckle, and lotus bud, mythical creatures and animals, guilloche pattern, double guilloche pattern and also very present is symbolism.
Assyrian patterns often resemble the ancient Egyptian patterns although the Assyrians accommodated them to their religion and the necessities of life. Instead of some Egyptian symbols, they used theirs or simply developed their element patterns based on the Egyptians. Assyrian patterns are usually rectangular shapes, sacred trees, the frieze patterns or frame border patterns and are most frequently made in stone, terracotta or ivory.
