    The reason for this is that with lions beneath and below the king Ashurnasirpal II, this was a symbolic gesture about how the king defeated the lions and how they were subjugated, thus they were placed lower than the king.

    Such a theme is common in sculptures as the height of someone can depict his or her power in society or a certain area.
