The King Tudhaliya IV is depicted in the protective embrace of the much taller god Sharrumma, his patron.   The king is dressed in long robes and a scull cap and is carrying a long wand, curled at the bottom (a lituus).   The god is wearing a short skirted tunic with a belt and a tall conical hat with many horns on it.   Both of them have pointed shoes that curl up at the toe and a short sword, the hilts visible at their waists.   Behind Sharrumma's hat is a cartouche, in Hittite heiroglyphics, giving the king's name and title.
