Arslantaş Couple of portal lions are standing near Yeniköy village of Darende and referred locally as Aslan Taşlar (Lion Stones). They were first reported in 1858 and are apparently standing in situ although there is no trace of a building or gate. badly weathered lions have no inscriptions but based on style they are estimated to be from 12th or 11th cent BCE. A very similar portal lion was found in nearby Sevdili village which is now in Kahramanmaraş Museum. Click on pictures for a larger image.
