Through the combined study of Hittite cuneiform texts and the iconography of Hittite relief vases (Anatolia of the second half of the second millennium BCE), this paper addresses the ceremonial garments of key participants in cultic ceremonies, namely the royal couple, priests and priestesses, as well as festival entertainers. The paper also discusses a particular gesture which is frequently mentioned in Hittite religious texts: the act consisting of seizing someone else’s šeknu-garment. We argue that such a gesture might be related to the purity rules regarding the Great King’s body. Throughout this paper, several correspondences between the iconography and the textual evidence are also suggested.

通过对赫梯楔形文字和赫梯浮雕花瓶（公元前第二个世纪下半叶的安那托利亚）的图像学的综合研究，本文论述了礼仪仪式中主要参与者的礼节服装，即皇室夫妇，祭司和女祭司。以及节日艺人。本文还讨论了赫梯宗教文献中经常提到的一种特殊手势：该行为包括夺取他人的šeknu服装。我们认为这种手势可能与有关大君王身体的纯正规则有关。贯穿本文，还提出了肖像学和文本证据之间的几种对应关系。
