Relief of İmamkulu, Hittite rock relief in Tomarza, Turkey.
The relief measures 3.6 meters wide by 2 meters high, carved into a trachyte block featuring three sections with detailed figures and hieroglyphs.
Dating back to the 13th century BCE, this artwork presents Kuwalanamuwa, a king's son, alongside depictions of the weather god and mountain deities.
The central section shows the weather god in a chariot pulled by bulls, standing on mountain gods, while a goddess appears on the right side.
Visitors can examine a cast of the relief at the Archaeological Museum of Kayseri, offering clearer details than the weathered original site.
The relief contains Luwian hieroglyphs that identify specific individuals, making it valuable for understanding ancient Hittite naming conventions and royal lineage.
