T1 Akpinar
A1 Arroyo Cambronero, Ana
AB Akpinar is a great rock-relief which is inscribed in the ancient Mount Sypilos above of the river Gediz, at East Anatoly. It seems to be unfinished, has two inscriptions, one at the right top, second at the left bottom and is damaged. Its interpretation has been always difficult until the last one offered by Mirjo and Beatrice Salvini in 1996: a masculine figure product of a local government. In this paper I would like to offera different view of this rock-relief, which in my opinionis related to the nenar spring and because this important aspect of its situation, not casual, could represent a standing feminine figure: the spring itself in connection with Spring and Autumn Hittite Festivals, although it should be product of a local government influenced by Hittite culture and aesthetic.
