Relief of the King Kilamuva, Zincirli.
832-810 BC Berlin Museum.
Zincirli and Sakçagözü are important Late Hittite centers found in
the vicinity of Gaziantep. It is known that the art of the Hittite
Period continued into the Late Hittite city states, varying in form
ccording to the regions where they existed and ethnic groups. Four
main artistic styles have been detected in these city states. We can
group them into 1. Traditional Late Hittite Style 2. Late Hittite Style
displaying Assyrian influence 3. Assyrianized Hittite style 4. Aramisized
and Phoenicianized Hittite Style. Nearly all of the works found in
Malatya Aslantepe, which best reflects the Traditional Late Hittite
Style seen between 1050-850 BC, seem to be replicas of the samples
from Hattusha.
