Kırçoğlu

The statue was reportedly found near Kırçoğlu village (now Kırcaoğlu, about 7 km east of Kumlu in Hatay province), and it was in Berlin by 1898. The small statue shows the lower part of a person wearing a long and belted tunic. On the tunic is a 3-line Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription where the author gives his name and title and dedicates the statue to "divine Queen of the Land." Currently in the Vorderasiatisches Museum in Berlin.
