Banqueting scene. Basalt stele, 83 cm wide, 72 cm in height, 42½ cm thick.
Two personages (a man on the right, a woman on the left) sit on either side of a three-legged table. On the table lie seven slices of bread; above it: the motif of a palm branch with two leaves and two buds.
Neo-Hittite sculpture in Aramean style. Dated to 730-700 BC. Similar in style to stelae from Sakçagözü.
