Description
This is a represenattion of the Weather God Hadad, who originally held in his hands his two symbols: the lightening-rod and the axe. On this round cap are bull horns, the known symbols of divinity. The two lion heads on the socle were originally not attached. Panamuwa, the king of Ja'udi, erected this statue to enjoy the protection of the weather god during his lifetime.
