Tilsevet Funerary Stele

The basalt funerary stele with a three-line Hieroglyphic Luwian inscription is about 1.6 meters high and was found in 1955 in the possession of a peasant in the village of Ekinveren (previously known as Tilsevet), southeast of the city of Gaziantep. It may have come from an ancient graveyard south of the village. The inscription is a funerary dedication for a person named Uwawas. Currently in the Gaziantep Museum.
