Asmacık Stele

Bottom part of a broken basalt stele with a Storm-God figure on the front side and the last 3 lines of a Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription at the rounded back side. Surviving part of the stele is about 80 cm in height. Unfortunately the inscription is too worn out to be read but proximity of the find spot suggests Karkamis origin. Currently in Gaziantep Museum.
