view map

A banquet scene, 9th century BC. From Maraş.

Both personages wear a polos-like hat and hold a pomegranate in one hand. The left personage raises a drinking cup; the right one has a mirror and shows all the characteristics of the goddess Kubaba. The scene is possibly a ritual banquet of two deities. Neo-Hittite sculpture, traditional style.

Correspondent: J.M.Criel, Antwerpen.
