ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A Journey into the Past The Hittite Sun Disc, The symbol of the Hittite Civilization has captured the interest of humanity throughout history. Carefully crafted and shaped using the lost-wax casting technique, this sculpture, specially designed by me, offers a journey into the depths of Hittite culture. Every detail of this glass sculpture, meticulously crafted by hand, reflects the symbolic significance and aesthetic beauty of the Hittite Sun Disc. The intricate glasswork highlights the elegance and uniqueness of the piece, evoking the spirit and aesthetics of the Hittite period. More than just a work of art, this sculpture is an invitation to embark on a journey through history and discover the traces of Hittite culture. Whether displayed in your home or office, this sculpture will enrich your space and open a door to the fascinating world of history and art. If you appreciate tracing the footsteps of the past and exploring the intersection of history and art, this Hitit Sun Disc sculpture is perfect for you. The Sun Disc, the symbol of the Hittite Civilization and art, consists of the sun in its center and the elements around it. Some of them have pieces that swing to make sounds, some have the image of a deer symbolizing peace, and some have bird and tree figures to symbolize reproduction. It is thought that it was attached to the ends of wooden staffs and used in religious ceremonies or among horse harnesses. It is usually made of bronze. The most outstanding examples were found in Alacahöyük near Çorum in Turkey. Although it has become the symbol of the Hittites, it is a work belonging to the Hatti people, the oldest civilization in Anatolia. When the Hatti kings died, they were buried with the sun disk and 4-5 similar symbols. Wishing you days filled with art and inspiration!
