Annotations

This limestone fragment of the late Hittite relief was discovered at the Karakuyu [Torbali in Izmir province] in 20071. The right lower part of the relief depicts a male figure holding a spear and carrying a bow (only one leg and the lower part of a spear are preserved).  On the right side of the relief is the badly damaged remains of a Luwian inscription,
