Summary

| Description |
English: The Urfa Statue is the oldest known, life-sized statue to have survived intact into the present. It was unearthed in the mid-1990s, below the Old City of Urfa, just to the north of Balıklığöl, in the area of a large Pre-Pottery Neolithic settlement. The existence of this settlement is testified by observations of so-called “terrazzo floors” belonging to Pre-Pottery Neolithic houses and characteristic flint tools from this period.
The limestone statue stands 1.80 metres tall and has large eye sockets which are filled with black obsidian eyes. The statue is depicted with hands folded in front and naked, except for the V-shaped lines resembling a necklace. The lower section of the statue has been sculpted as a U-form, so as to fit into a socket. There are some images of the statue in the category Şanlıurfa Museum Paleolithic Age Hall, I claim that is wrong as the Pre-Pottery Neolithic was after that period, to the best of my knowledge and according to what I find in the Wikipedia itself.Nederlands: Nederlands: Het Urfa Standbeeld is het oudste op ware lengte uitgevoerde standbeeld dat intact aan ons is overgeleverd. Het werd opgegraven in de mid-90-er jaren in de Oude Stad van Urfa, iets ten noorden van Balıklığöl (het gebied met vijvers aan de voet van de heuvel met de oude burcht), in het gebied van een grote Pre-Pottery Neolithische nederzetting. Dat er zo'n nederzetting was kan worden afgeleid uit de waargenomen “terrazzo vloeren” die tot de Pre-Pottery Neolithische huizen behoren en uit karakteristieke vuurstenen werktuigen uit die periode.
Het kalkstenen standbeeld is 1.80 meter hoog en heeft grote oogkassen die gevuld zijn met ogen in zwart obsidiaan. De figuur is afgebeeld met zijn handen gevouwen voor zicht en is naakt, met slechts V-vormige lijnen die een halsketting lijken. Het onderste deel is tot een U-vorm gehouwen, om het in een gat te plaatsen. |
