Orthostat with a horse rider
The basalt (dolerite) orthostat was found in 1888 on the western slope of the Zincirli mound as used in the wall of a house that was built a few years earlier. It is about 120 cm high, 70 cm wide, and 12 cm thick. It bears the relief of a horse rider with a round cap. It is believed to have originated from the inner side of the Southern City Gate, where similarly sized steles, including another horse rider, were found. It is currently in the Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin.
