Abstract

This article examines twelve figural grave steles in the Usak Museum. The theme of these steles is the depiction of human figures and objects belonging to the deceased. Ten of the steles have inscriptions. The findings of this study show that the use of the steles was not limited to Kütahya and its environs but that they exhibit a typology with a similar architectural form and common iconography. Unfortunately, the scarcity of studies in the region prevents the precise identification of the exact place of production. The development of the items on these steles, especially the figures thought to represent the deceased, can be seen as constituting regional styles in provincial art. This indicates that more than one workshop or craftsman was active in different parts of the region. The research reveals that the workshops in Kütahya (Kotiaeion) are similar to contemporary workshops in places such as Altıntaş (Appia/ Soa) and Gediz (Kadoi). Although production is quite localized, the style of the figures and the objects associated with the deceased remains consistent. In the study, tomb steles were evaluated in terms of typology, iconography, and stylistic aspects.
