EDITORS COMMENTS
This orthostat, hailing from the ancient city of Sama/Zincirli in modern-day Turkey, showcases the remarkable artistic achievements of the Hittite Empire during the 8th century BC. Carved from basalt stone, this relief depicts a dynamic scene of hunters in pursuit of a fierce lion. The intricate details of the artwork reveal the hunters' curly beards and elaborate clothing, indicating their high social status within Hittite society. The hunters are shown wearing suits with long, flowing sleeves and carrying lances, ready to take down their formidable prey. The Hittites, an ancient Anatolian civilization in Asia Minor, were known for their advanced civilization and powerful kingdom. This orthostat, one of many discovered at the site, was transported to the Pergamon Museum on Museum Island in Berlin, Germany, where it is now displayed as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Hittite Empire. The relief's intricate carving and lifelike portrayal of the hunters and their quarry provide a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate the artistic and historical significance of this remarkable piece.
