Şekerli

The stele shows the Storm God in a classical pose with raised arms holding a weapon and a lightning. At the top is a winged sun disk. A badly weathered multiple-line (10?) Luwian inscription covers the sides and the back of the stele. Along with Haçgöz, Şekerli marks the easternmost boundary of the geographical distribution of the monumental Hieroglyphic Luwian inscriptions. The stele is currently in the Şanlıurfa Museum.
