Description
The rulers of Carchemish carved dedicatory inscriptions to the goddess Kubaba on monuments. This door jamb formed part of a gateway leading to the citadel. It is carved with a Luwian hieroglyphic inscription made by Katuwa, a king of Carchemish. He claims to have re-established the goddess Kubaba as queen of the city.
