Rock reliefs are a prominent aspect of Hittite art. LocationThe relief is in a courtyard in Gökbez, Bor district, Niğde Province, Turkey, about 12 km southeast of Kemerhisar and 22 km south of the provincial capital of Niğde. Kemerhisar is the site of the ancient city of Tyana and was centre of the minor Luwian state of Tuwanuwa. The ancient route from Tyana, through Halala to the Cilician Gates, which were probably already in use in Hittite times.[1] The relief lies beside the old path. DescriptionThe relief lies broken away and on its side in a courtyard in the village, leaning on the exterior wall of a house. The stone block measures 3.0 metres wide and 2.4 m high, the relief is 2.0 m x 2.0 m. The badly weathered image shows the god Tarhunzas facing left. He holds a double axe in his right hand and a thunderbolt in his left. The god has a beard and long hair which falls to his shoulders. He is dressed in a knee-length robe with a broad belt. A vine grows up between his legs and grape clusters hang down beside him to the left. To the right of the figure is a double arch with a horizontal line running across it two thirds of the way up. Dietrich Berges and Johannes Nollé suggest that it probably originally contained (or was intended to contain) an inscription. Eringhaus thought it was a Phrygian double idol, like that described by Dietrich Brendt at Midas Kenti.[2] The posture and costume of the figure show strong similarities to the Niğde Stele (on display in the Niğde Archaeological Museum), which also depicts Tarhunzas. For this reason, the relief is dated to the late 8th or early 7th century BC.
