Funerary Stele Fragment (YUNUS 7)

The limestone block was originally part of a rectangular, tower-shaped funerary stele. In the Roman period, it was repurposed as a tombstone by cutting it down. On its side, it preserves a section of the original single-line Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription naming the deceased as Nunura. It is currently housed in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.
