Sun disk made of bronze used as a ceremonial standard, from the pre-Hittite period (Hatti). These objects were used in religious ceremonies and were found in the royal tombs of Hattian times unearthed in Alacahöyük, 2500-2250 BCE. Hatti kings were buried in funeral ceremonies typically with 4-5 such symbols of similar design. (Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, Ankara)
