Ancient sculpture of woman found in Turkeys Hatay
Excavations at the Tayinat Mound in the southern Turkish province of Hatay have uncovered an ancient sculpture of a woman, around the same size as the statue of King Suppiluliuma previously discovered at the site.
The sculpture, which is made up of a head and body, is thought to date back to the late Hittite period in the 9th century B.C.
It is thought that the sculpture, which has some broken parts, belongs to the wife of the King Suppiluliuma, but more concrete results will be obtained after works.
Works have been continuing at the mound with a team of 20 people, under the leadership of Professor Timothy Harrison of Toronto University.
Harrison said excavations have been continuing at the Tayinat Mound for 13 years.
“We found the sculpture of King Suppiluliuma in 2012. Now in works in the same area we have found a sculpture of a woman, the upper part of which has been preserved. Both sculptures are from the same period and their size, dimensions and iconographic elements are very similar,” he added.
“We think that the original sculpture was huge, around four or five meters high. We have found lots of pieces of the sculpture, and we believe it is most probably the wife of the king because they were found in the same field. It may also be the sculpture of the Anatolian goddess Kubaba, but this sculpture looks more like a human. Alternatively it may be a sculpture of a noble person from the royal family,” Harrison said.

Toronto Üniversitesi Kanada Türk Çalışmaları Geliştirme Topluluğu’dan Sunum:
Ana Tanrıça mı, Kadın Önder mi yoksa bir Kralıçe mi?
Tayınat Kazı Çalışmaları başkanlığıda bulunan Professor Timothy Harrison Antakya, Hatay’da bulunan Kadın (Tanrıça?) Başı hakkında konuşma yapacak.
4 Aralık 2017, Pazartesi günü Toronto Üniversitesi’nde yer alacak konuşma saat 18.00’de başlayacak.
Hatay’ın Reyhanlı ilçesinde devam edilen Tayınat Höyüğü kazısında, Kral Suppiluliuma’nın karısı olduğu düşünülen, aynı boyutlardaki 3 bin yıllık bir kadın yontusu bulundu.
Kazı çalışmaları Başkanı Prof. Dr. Harrison, “2012 yılında Kral Suppiluliuma’nın heykelini bulmuştuk. Aynı bölgede yaptığımız çalışmalarda, belden yukarısı korunmuş şekilde bir kadın heykeli bulduk”, “Kral Suppiluliuma’nın eşi olma olasılığı oldukça fazla. Anadolu tanrıçası Kubaba’nın heykeli de olabilir ancak bu heykel, inografik olarak bakıldığında daha çok bir insanı andırıyor. Son olarak da kraliyet ailesinin ilk atası ya da aileden bir soyluya ait olabilir, bu da bir olasılık” dedi.
Baş ve gövdeden oluşan, bir kısmı parçalanan yontunun, Kral Suppiluliuma’nın eşi olduğu tahmin edilirken, kesin sonuç yaklaşık 1 yıl sürecek çalışmalar sonuncunda belli olacak.
