Both personages wear a polos-like hat and hold a pomegranate in one hand. The left personage raises a drinking cup; the right one has a mirror and shows all the characteristics of the goddess Kubaba. The scene is possibly a ritual banquet of two deities.
From K.Maraş. Neo-Hittite sculpture, traditional style, c. 9th century BC.
