The bottom plaque is actually him trying to pursuade his wife Lamashtu (the figure on the horse/donkey who Paul Carus thought was Elippu) to return to the Underworld, since she was the demon/goddess of miscarriage.
The demon holding the plaque (with the lion face) is not the Chaldean devil, but is actually the SW wind demon Pazuzu, who was the bearer of drought but also protected children and pregnant women. The plaque is actually a scene of protection. This plaque was created by Chaldeans to show the world was going to end and how the devil was going to be in full control. The figure in the middle on the bottom standing on the horse/donkey is the god Elippu. He claims that this plaque resembles the world and the lion-faced monster holding the plaque is the Chaldean devil, who wants to destroy the world. Here's what this author claims to be a plaque of: There is a part of the book where's he's talking about "devil worship" in Mesopotamia. Holy HELL this book has a crapload of problems and inaccuracies that have been debunked today. Tries to be diverse and talks about all the parts of the world and how these religions and tribal groups worshipped/revered the devil.
