One More example of Oriental influence on the Protocorinthians
The following image is the best example I could find of a frieze (in this case Achaemenid) showing its influence on Protocorinthian pottery. I intended it to be part of the previous post on that subject, but didn’t have permission to use it in time.

One problem with using this object in your argument is that it isn't Assyrian. It's Achaemenid, dating to to late sixth century. Excavated at Persepolis in the 1930s, now on display in the Oriental Institute Museum's Persian gallery.
