his house, and there we found cut in red sandstone rock 
another figure of a lion. This one had lost its head, and 
being set up on its tail occupied an awkward and uncomfort- 
able position for so noble an animal and so valuable an 
archeological specimen. For what can it be but another 
Hittite lion made and left more than three thousand years ago ? 
That little village of Redhead, z.e., “ Shite” Turks, with 
its relics of three other peoples with their mighty govern- 
ments, their races, languages, religions, customs, and 
civilizations distinct one from another, and a thousand 
years apart, and with Doric and Ionic capitals in the near 
vicinity, is an example of what is waiting for the spade of 
the explorer, and the genius of the archeologist in the soil 
of Asia Minor.

mounted between two lions which are looking upward. The 
whole is worn with time and moss-covered, but the two lions’ 
heads, with nose, nostrils, mouth, cheeks, forehead, mane, and ears,

mounds, apparently artificial and believed by the natives to 
contain buried antiquities. Many coins are found in the fields 
about. These lions’ heads can hardly be other than Hittite. It 
was the throne of a Hittite prince. 
“JT send you this item thinking that you might like to give it a 
place along with my paper, which I trust may draw out interesting 
information from some of the able scholars connected with the
