The HATIP relief of Kurunta, Great King, Hero, Muwattalli (II)’s Great King’s, Hero’s, son. One of the most beautiful stone reliefs of Hatti, and one of my favourites owing to the tradition: The Great King, portrayed with horns for a god, holds a spear and a bow as he should

The remains of the Hieroglyphic Luwian ANCOZ 8 block make a good reading for those liking to spend the evenings with a neat text, charming carving work like the ANCOZ texts as a whole:
Goddess Kubaba, the Great Queen of Karkamiš, displayed in the charming KARKAMIŠ 37C slab: (The sun-disc topping her crown and the horns attached reveal her a deity, and in Karkamiš hardly any other deity would have been displayed like this, so the identification is pretty certain

King Kilamuwa and his servant, carved in basalt circa 830 BCE. Excavated at Sam’al (Zincirli Höyük), Gaziantep, Türkiye by Deutsches Orient-Komitee (1888-1902). Now preserved in Berlin’s Pergamon Museum.
