A stele of Tudhaliya IV (BOĞAZKÖY 3)

The badly worn stele was found in Büyükkale. It bears an aedicula of Tudhaliya IV followed by his genealogy, very similar to BOĞAZKÖY 18. Completely eroded top section may also have contained a similar winged sun disk. It is on display in the Anatolian Civilizations Museum.
