Storm God Stele
The basalt Storm God stele was transferred to the Adana Museum in the 1930s from the city of Maraş where it was located in secondary context. Although highly weathered, the Storm God figure is in a typical pose with a raised arm holding a double-sided axe in one and a lightning bolt on the other. Above the deity is the outline of a winged sun disk. The stele is about 1.06 meters in height and 0.65 meters in width. On the upper section of the back side is a four-line Luwian inscription, but it is largely unreadable. What little can be read suggests that it is about offerings to the deities. The stele is currently in the Adana Archaeology Museum.
