Keben Relief The relief is carved on the rock cliffs near the Keben village, 27 km to the town of Silifke. It is about 1 m by 1.5 meter in size and about 4 meters above the ground. It displays a standing woman from profile with extended arms, wearing a flat headpiece and a long robe that covers her back down to heels but open in front. Lack of an inscription has caused an argument in detemining the time of the relief. Flat polos and long robe is similar to Neo-Hittite style which causes some scholars date the relief into that period. There are other arguments placing the relief to late Iron Age.
