In the 'Battle of Cunaxa illustration' thread, I promised to try and find that Lykian warrior stele (inspired by Duncan Head's words that it might not be lost), as soon as I find a chance to go to Konya. So, last Sunday I went there on a day trip with our university's archaelogical society, of which I'm also a member. And I found that stele or at least what seems to be it. :lol: It looks slightly different from that 19th c. drawing. Perhaps, it was slightly damaged since that time. But the sickle sword is still distinguishable. Photos below.

Well, these are not the only interesting things I photographed there. :wink: I'm planning to post them all later in a separate thread.
