Fraktin Relief Located 78 km to the city of Kayseri, near the Gümüşören village of Develi, the relief dates to mid 13th cent BCE. Sculptured rock-panel shows two groups of figures in a religious act, with hieroglyphs in relief. The relief was first noticed by Sayce in 1880. It is about 1.3 meters by 3.2 meters in size. The scene on the left shows Hattusili III, as read from hieroglyps above it, pouring libation to Storm God. The scene on the right shows Queen Puduhepa, depicted clothed from head to foot in her priestess’ robes, pouring a libation to the goddess Hepatu (Hepat) or Arinna. This scene on the right appears to be in unfinished shape. Both scenes have the same shaped altar in the middle. There is a bird figure on the altar in the left scene, and possibly a bread on the right one. To the right of the both relief there is also an unfinished inscription, and possibly read as "daughter of the country Kizzuwatna, loved of the divinities" (Güterbock). Great Queen ("Tawananna") Puduhepa was a daugher of a priest from Kizzuwatna (Clicia). Hattusili being shown with a horned hat like the gods, may mean the relief was made after his death during the reign of his son Tudhaliya IV when Puduhepa was still alive. The plateau above the relief has at least two libation holes, which further indicate that the site was used for religious ceremonies. A replica of the monument can be seen in Kayseri museum.
