View of an orthostat from the Hearld's Wall in the Lower Palace complex at Carchemish. It is of basalt and dates to 900–700 B.C.
Two "Winged Griffin Demons" facing each other. The human bodies have wings, raised arms, and bird heads.
The orthostat is about 4 feet tall and made of basalt. In the Hearld's Wall there was a mixture of basalt and limestone orthostats.
