Cuneiform comes from the Latin ceneus, meaning "wedge"; the characters in cuneiform art are wedge shaped and it is the system of writing developed by the "Sumerians" or the "Sumer" civilians who lived toward the end of the Neolithic period. Sumer is the first of historic Mesopotamian civilizations to rise to prominence about 3000 BCE, roughly 2300 years before the Assyrian's even took took control of Mesopotamia, which was from about 900 to 600 BCE, during ancient Egyptian times.
On that note, the most common form of "Assyrian" art consists of sprawling palaces and fortified citadels, and its extensive sculptural decoration -- rendered in relief --- reflects power and might of the kings. The two most common subjects of these relief sculptures are the kings military hunts that were staged and tightly controlled to safely showcase the strength of the ruler. An example of such art and one of the most famous in Ancient History is "The Dying Lioness", from Nineveh (660 BCE), a limestone relief that depicts carnage for the sake of royal sport.
