Atrisuha Statue
The basalt statue is about 1.6 m in height. The inscription (KARKAMIŠ A4d) at the hem of the seated figure's robe mentions the name Atrisuha which may mean "soul of Suhi" and represent the dead king Suhi I or II. It was located at the King's Gate in Karkamış. The base and statue were smashed during the years of the First World War. The inscription is a curse against those who do not make offerings to the deity. Fragments of the heavily damaged top section are currently at the museum depot in Ankara. It dates to the reign of Katuwa in the 10th or early 9th century BCE. The base can be seen in the Anatolian Civilizations Museum, Ankara.
