In the Louvre we can find the remains of a decoration from the Tiglat-Pileser III palace at Tell Ahmar, Syria (Kar-Salmanasar in Assyrian times), made 8th century BCE. It is a representation of two servants painted with tempera paint: red ocher, Egyptian blue and charcoal black, on a white preparation of calcium carbonate, and an image of a Wined genie.
