[68] There is some doubt whether this figure is Hittite at all. It may be of Babylonian origin. (See Perrot and Chipiez, Hist., t. iv., 550 f.) The boots are so slightly turned up at the points that they are more like those worn by Babylonian kings than the characteristic boots of the Hittites. The stela was brought from the castle of Birejik, not from the site of Carchemish, as M. Babelon states.
