HOME - KARKAMIŞ TÜRKÇE Inscribed Stone Bowl Fragment (BEIRUT) The fragment with a partial Luwian inscription belongs to the edge section of a stone bowl. There is no information on its find place and current whereabouts, and it is known only from photographs that surfaced in the Beirut antiquities market; hence, the fragment is labeled in the literature as BEIRUT. However, stylistically it is very similar to Karkamış inscriptions and may have originated from there. The inscription mentions a person named Iya and offerings to deities Santa, Kubaba, and Karhuha. |
