Hüseyindede Tepe
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hüseyindede Tepe is an Early Hittite site in the Sungurlu district of Turkey's Çorum Province, about 2km south of a town called Yörüklü (pop. 2,988 as of 2000). The site has been surveyed in 1997, leading to the rare discovey of a vase relief depicting a bull-leaping scene
The Hüseyindede Vase after a vase found in İnandık is only the second Hittite vase discovered depicting dancers, musicians and acrobats. The artwork is clearly in Anatolian style and not an import from Minoan Crete, the area mostly associated with bull-leaping. It shows thirteen figures, one two in the act of somersaulting over the bull.
