Funerary Stele
The basalt stele with a missing top section shows a typical dining scene encountered in many other steles from the Maraş region. Between the male and female couple is a folding table with a duck on it. Below the scene is an equid. It was dug up in 1963 in a garden in the Yörükselim district of the city of Kahramanmaraş. The existing piece is roughly 0.9 meters high and 0.9 meters wide. A few partially visible hieroglyphic signs above the face of the male figure on the left are the end of an inscription, which must have identified the owner. Stylistically, it has been dated to around 950-850 BCE. The stele is currently on display at the Kahramanmaraş Museum.
