The İnandık vase, a Hittite four-handled large terracota vase with scenes in relief showing the stages of a sacred wedding ceremony in Hittite social life with musicians and dancers. The vase dates from the Old Hittite Kingdom about 1600 BCE and was discovered in 1966 CE in İnandıktepe, an archaeological site located in Cankiri Province, Turkey, about 50 miles northeast of Ankara.
