@article{2017,title={STELE WITH HIEROGLYPHIC INSCRIPTION AND RELIEFS IN MARAS},abstractNode={In funerary steles, compositions that composed of single, double or triple figures are depicted. Generally, female-male (husband-wife) figures or female-child figures in binary compositions, female-male-child figures in triple compositions are depicted. These steles were created in the direction of the wishes of a propertied class which is scarcely encountered in the examples in Asia Minor. Besides these features, in Kahramanmaraş funerary steles, ordinary people and their works are depicted rather than King or Gods. The funerary steles found in Kahramanmaraş and around the city has a crucial importance for indicating the cultures influencing the region. For instance, figures such as depictions that male is on the right side of the female, male has no mustache, portrayal of spinning woman, and upturned shoes figures are frequently seen in funerary steles found in Kahramanmaraş and around. Furthermore, the effects of Assyrian, Aramaic, Phoenician and Urartian arts are also seen in these steles.},author={Abdulhamit KAVAK},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
