An Evaluation of the Symposion Scene Relief and Shield Block in Kayabaş (Korkuteli)

Abstract

In ancient cultures, tomb structures often featured inscriptions and figural narrations aimed at highlighting the identity, characteristics, profession, or exceptional aspects of the tomb owner. The symposion scene depicted in Kayabaş, as well as the narrative showcasing the glory of the tomb owner, were also lovingly practiced in Mesopotamian cultures, Anatolia, and the Ancient Greek world. The two reliefs located on the left side of the symposion relief, which serves as a local example of the general figurative narrations on the main rock mass in the Kayabaş neighborhood, appear to form a cohesive whole with the main scene. They share an oval-shaped top, a flat bottom, and are placed adjacent to each other on the same ground. South of these reliefs and on the ground, two damaged sarcophagus basins and large-scale round stone blocks can be found. Nearby, there is a quarry, 2 ostothek mortises, 4 chamosorions, and 3 additional sarcophagi, one intact, one broken, and another completely crumbled. These remnants indicate that this area served as a necropolis. Moreover, the relief and a free-standing round stone block located in the area were examined, and suggestions were developed based on these findings.
