EDITORS COMMENTS
This relief, dating back to 750 BC, is a testament to the ancient Hittite civilization that once thrived in Anatolia, now modern-day Turkey. Discovered in the ruins of the Sakcegozu Palace, this intricately carved basalt stone depicts a scene of a royal lion hunt. The relief showcases a sense of dynamic energy and movement as hunters on horse-drawn chariots and on foot pursue the majestic lions. The hunters are depicted with great detail, their determined expressions etched on their faces as they aim their arrows, spears, and javelins at the lions. The lions, in turn, display their raw power and strength, their muscular bodies tensed and ready to pounce. The relief also features a hunter on foot, standing triumphantly over a slain lion, holding its head aloft as a trophy. The relief's intricate decoration also includes details such as the reins and wheels of the chariots, adding to the overall sense of realism and authenticity. This masterpiece of ancient art is now housed in the Pergamon Museum in Berlin, Germany, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Hittite Empire.
