Image description

More than two hundred such stone reliefs (called orthostats) decorated the façade of a temple-palace built in the 10th century BC by a local ruler named Kapara. He reused the blocks from one or more pre-existing structures and carved an inscription in cuneiform on each one that states, "Palace of Kapara, son of Hadianu." The blocks were placed so that limestone ones painted red alternated with others of black basalt. There are traces of King Kapara's inscription on the top edge of the stone.
