Although not complete and disfigured in ancient times, the basaltic sculpture measured between four and five meters. Experts don't know who it represents. Kubaba, the mother of the gods of ancient Anatolia; Suppiluliuma, the king's wife; or Taitaren, the mother of the founder of Kunulu. According to the project director, Timothy Harrison, “the State can clarify that in the first communities of the Iron Age women had more political and religious importance than was thought.”
