They were originally in the Assyrian Palace of Sargon II ca. 750 BCE in Mesopotamia.
A lamassu would have originally been found at an Assyrian palace. These monumental sculptures, featuring a winged bull or lion with a human head, were placed at entrances to provide protection and serve as a symbol of power and authority. They were commonly located in the palatial complexes of the Assyrian Empire, rather than in Sumerian ziggurats, Neo-Babylonian cities, or Hittite temples.
Ashurbanipal was the Assyrian king during the height of the Assyrian Empire.

Here is a description of an Assyrian king burial.- In this limestone sarcophagus (coffin) laid the body of an Assyrian king buried here twenty-eight hundred years ago, in the ninth century B.C. Above this sun-dried-brick vault in which he was buried rose the palace of Assur. The German excavators found here five such vaults under the floor of the palace. The dead Assyrian king was thus buried under his dwelling like ordinary Assyrians or Babylonians (Fig. 81). These are the first royal tombs ever found in Assyria. They had been broken open and robbed, the bodies of the kings scattered, and the coffins mostly shattered to pieces, over two thousand years ago, by the Parthians (§ 1023), and they were found empty by the excavators.-
