Ceremonial Standard Bronze- Anatolian Postcard
Alacahoyuk from the 2nd half of the 3rd millenium BC
From The Museum of Anatolian Civilization in Turkey
Many of the artefacts discovered at Alacahoyuk, including magnificent Hattian gold and bronze objects
found in the Royal Tombs, are housed today in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara.
Among these artifacts are gold and electrum standing cups and other vessels.
Bulls or stags on pedestals as culturally unexplained "standards" are among the most common images.
The standards are cast in copper, in the form of flat circles, half-circles or squares that are in-filled with an open network of cross bars, central crosses, and swastikas.
