Stele

It is one of the two limestone steles that were confiscated in 1962 from a local person in Maraş, and said to have been found in the Yörükselim district of the city. It shows another typical dining scene. Between the male and female couple is a child, making it complete as a family scene. It is about 60 cm in height and 85 cm in width and may date to the 9th century BCE. The stele is currently on display at the Kahramanmaraş Museum.
