Abstract

The shoe-shaped rhyton from Suluca Karahöyük settlement in Central Cappadocia, has added another example of this group. The specimen has been understood to have been modelled after laced, short legged sandal which are made from leather. In regards of form and proportions the rhyton is made realistically, though in regards of dimension the rhyton is rather small. Similar examples of shoe-shaped rhytons are found in II. stratum of the Karum in Kültepe Kani? and our example can be dated to this stratum. Although in Anatolia, early examples of shoe-shaped rhytons are found in the Lake Region?s (Pisidia) Neolithic Age, in the second millennium BC scarce finds are known incidents. After this date the shoe-shaped rhytons are known to increase, diversify and to reflect in artworks with depictions in Central Anatolia. With the cultic features being continued, we can express that these objects; were used in religious ceremonies for libaitons and that they were symbolizing beliefs in daily life.
