Summary

Description
English: For this type of "Hittite King X offering to God Y" relief I refer to my Anatolian Civizations Museum gallery, where you can find many more.

A replica of the rock relief of Fraktin (near Gümüşören village of Develi, c. 78 km south of Kayseri). This Hittite relief dates from mid-13th century BC. The sculptured rock-panel shows two groups of figures in a religious act. The figures are identified by labels in Luwian hieroglyphs. The relief is about 1.3 meters by 3.2 meters in size.

On the picture: The scene on the right, showing Queen Puduhepa, depicted clothed from head to foot in her priestess robe, pouring libation to the enthroned goddess Hepat. This scene is in unfinished condition and the figures lack details. There is an altar in the middle, with a bird figure on it.
