Karasu Relief

data access 26536

The Neo-Hittite Karasu relief, also known as the Süpürgüç relief after the earlier name of the nearby town of Akbudak, is a rock relief located on a tributary of the Euphrates. It depicts a warrior standing on a deer. It likely represents a Hittite protective deity. He has a bow over the left shoulder and a spear in the extended right hand.
