Kubaba of Carchemish

myminifactory

The rulers of Carchemish proudly carve dedicatory inscriptions to their revered goddess Kubaba on monumental structures. This door jamb plays a key role in a gateway that leads directly to the citadel's heart. Crafted with great care, a Luwian hieroglyphic inscription shines brightly on its surface, bearing the name of Katuwa, Carchemish's mighty king who boldly claims to have re-established Kubaba as the supreme queen of his city.
