Keşlik Yayla
The round top stele was found in 1962 in a plateu north of Keşlik village near Yeşilhisar town of Kayseri. It shows the Storm-God Tarhunza holding grapes and long stem of wheat in a very similar scene as in İvriz. About 1.5 meter high stele has a very much worn out and illegible traces of about 9-line inscription on the background of the relief and on the sides. It is thought to be from Tuwana kingdom times based on similarities to Warpalawas monuments. Second half of the 8th century BCE. The stele is currently in Niğde Museum.
