Abstract

Anatolia, which hosts many civilizations, has different qualities in terms of its climate and rich history. These qualities came together with the opportunities offered by the geography and have been influential in shaping the culture of the living communities. Culture is the common process of society. It develops, grows and transforms, and remains as the values that humanity possesses. These values are shaped according to the living conditions and needs of the time. It is possible to see these effects also in art. The impacts have survived through various ways; providing information about the cultural structure, belief and values of the society.
