Hittites; Turkey -- Antiquities
[623] These details were in vogue throughout the whole range of Hittite
art at Sinjerli: see pp. 275, 289. Cf. also Pl. XXIV. (ii).
[624] P. 252: on the question of date, see below, p. 367.
[625] There is no analogy to date this object earlier than the ninth or
tenth century B.C. Cf. pp. 210, 301.
[626] Ramsay, _Jour. Roy. Asiatic Society_ (N.S.), xv. p. 116, with
sketch plan.
[627] Perrot, _op. cit._, fig. 335, represents the right-hand figure with
head-dress serrated, but this marking seems to be the weathering of the
stone.
[628] Perrot, _op. cit._, fig. 336, Pl. LXIII.; Macridy Bey, _op. cit._,
fig. 28, p. 21.
[629] _Loc. cit._, also _Recueil de Travaux_, xiv. p. 91 and fig. 5.
[630] Cf. Pls. XLIV. and XLVII.
[631] Pl. LXV., p. 223 (Nos. 3, 4, R.).
[632] Winckler, _Mitteilungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft_ (Berlin,
1907, No. 35), p. 70. Abb. 12, Das Ost-tor. See also above, p. 205.
[633] Messerschmidt, _C.I.H._, Pl. XXIX., No. 17.
[634] Taken by Perrot for part of a sphinx, and by Macridy Bey for the
lower part of a standing upright figure (_op. cit._, p. 25).
[635] No. 16 in M. Perrot’s Plan, _op. cit._, fig. 324 (Pl. LV.).
[636] We do not agree with any of the suggested restorations of these
motives. Cf. Macridy Bey, _op. cit._, pp. 27, 28; Chantre, _Mission en
Cappadoce_ (Paris, 1898), p. 9.
[637] Von Luschan and others: _Mitteilungen aus den Orientalistischen
Sammlungen_, Hefte xi., xii., and xiii.; _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_,
i., ii., iii. (Berlin, 1893, 1898, 1907).
[638] Published under the same auspices. _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_,
iv.
[639] See the Map on p. 375.
[640] Not much can be inferred from this fact, inasmuch as the Hittite
palaces even of the Aramæan phase were probably based upon earlier models
and of much the same plan. There are references to the _Hilâni_ in the
time of Sargon.
[641] Compare the plan of the lower palace at Boghaz-Keui, p. 207.
[642] Cf. _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_, iii. Pl. XXXIV.
[643] Compare with the tail of sphinx of Sakje-Geuzi, Pl. LXXXI.
[644] Cf. a sculpture from Sakje-Geuzi, Pl. LXXXI. (ii), and one from
Marash, p. 115. So also the eagle-headed monster described above.
[645] See above, pp. 203, 253, and Pl. LX., and plan, p. 247.
[646] _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_, ii. p. 122 (Koldewey).
[647] Corresponding in the main with the scheme of publication in
_Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_, iii. pp. 208-229, to the illustrations of
which we refer in the footnotes.
[648] Pp. 133, 134; Pl. XXXIX. and p. 105.
[649] _Op. cit._, iii. Pl. XXXIX.
[650] See Pl. LXXV. (ii), reproduced by courtesy of Dr. Messerschmidt.
Cf. _Ausgrabungen in Sendschirli_, iii. Pl. XL.
[651] As the band is in each case doubled, it does not seem probable that
this is merely the detail of an upper part to the shoe. Cf. the monument
of Ivrîz, Pl. LVII.
