HOME - YUNUS TÜRKÇE Funerary(?) Stele (YUNUS 3) The lower half of a basalt stele depicts a male figure in relief and bears a partially preserved three-line Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription. Reportedly discovered at Yunus necropolis, approximately 0.5 km northwest of Karkamış, the stele stands about 1 meter tall and 70 cm wide. Stylistic analysis suggests a date in the first half of the 8th century BCE. It is housed in the Anatolian Civilizations Museum in Ankara. |
