arts of architecture‚ landscaping‚ painting‚ and sculpture. These diverse forms of art have their own unique qualities‚ all of which can be accented with sculpture in some way. As sculpture usually relates closely to the other arts in expression and style‚ it still relies on all of the social aspects of the society in which it resides for its meaning and purpose.

the development of Assyrian art when sculpture was otherwise rare. Lamassu were powerfully evocative of strength‚ speed‚ and intelligence. It was considered by the Assyrians as a protective guardian of their houses‚ palaces‚ gateways‚ and cities.
