Ce lion n'était pas mobile; à la partie inférieure existe un goujon de scellement. Il ne doit donc pas être confondu avec d'autres lions de bronze trouvés à Nimroud et sur lesquels on voit des inscriptions en caractères cunéiformes et en caractères phéniciens. On pense que ces monuments ont servi comme poids. Quant au lion de Khorsabad, il appartenait bien certainement au système général des portes; car à chacune d'elles on a retrouvé les pierres de scellement où des figures pareilles avaient été fixées.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Abook&rft.genre=book&rft.btitle=Notice+des+antiquit%C3%A9s+assyriennes%2C+babyloniennes%2C+perses%2C+h%C3%A9braiques+expos%C3%A9es+dans+les+galeries+du+Mus%C3%A9e+du+Louvre&rft.pages=50+%28number+211%29&rft.pub=Vinchon&rft.date=1854&rft.aulast=de+Longp%C3%A9rier&rft.aufirst=Adrien&rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fbooks.google.com%2Fbooks%3Fid%3DGTRBAAAAYAAJ%26pg%3DPA50&rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3AAssyrian+lion+weights" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Botta_Flandin_Institut_de_France_1850_p.-18"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-Botta_Flandin_Institut_de_France_1850_p._18-0">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222" /><cite id="CITEREFBottaFlandin1850" class="citation book cs1">Botta, P.E.; Flandin, E.N.
