Illustration Query

Quoted text:

3.7 Hammurapi’s legal stela, upper register depicting him receiving his laws from Shamash. (Louvre.) Ditto from Mari palace. From André Parrot,[1] “Les Peintures du palais de Mari” in Syria, Vol. 18 (1937): p. 336 (plate 39, figures 8–10).

There was no indication in the chapter body of where Illustration 3.7 should go. Do you think it belongs after: “Behind the sun-gods of justice who sponsored the rules, measures, and laws proclaimed bby Ur-Nammu, Shulgi, Hammurapi, and other law-givers stood Nanshe, Nisaba, and other descendants of the archaic order-goddesses.”?
