Yükseklikleri 0.70 m. ile 3.10 m. arasında değişen bu stellerin yalnızca bir yüzleri işlenmiştir. Stellerden 11 tanesinde suspansuar (codpiece) giyimli çıplak erkekler resmedilmiştir. Bellerinde enli bir kemer vardır. Bunun üzerine daima aynı türde bir hançer asılıdır. Figürler her iki ellerinde bir kap tutarlar. Bunun deriden bir tulum (skin) olduğu anlaşılır. Steller üzerinde, çok sayıda balta, hançer, bıçak ve mızrak gibi madeni silahların yanında, dağ keçisi ve geyik gibi yabani hayvan ile insan figürlerine yer verilmiştir. Yurt tipi bozkır çadırlarının varlığı dikkat çekicidir. Stellerden ikisi farklı özelliktedir ve kadınlara ait oldukları sanılır. Hakkari stelleri farklı yerel ustalarca ve fakat belli ikonografik kurallar göz önünde bulundurularak yapılmışlardır. Bunlar çadırlarda yaşayan güçlü bir yönetici sınıfa (ruling elite ) aittir.Yanlarındaki balta ve hançer gibi silahların tipolojik özelliklerinden M.Ö. 2. binyılın ikinci yarısı içlerine ait oldukları anlaşılmaktadır. Bu türlü taşlar eski Anadolu ve Yakın Doğu’da fazla görülmezler. Buna karşılık M.Ö. 3. binyıldan M.S. 12.yüzyıla kadar geçen uzun sürede Avrasya steplerinde yüzlerce örnekle temsil edilirler. Özellikle, aralarında uzun bir zaman farkı olmakla birlikte, Orta Asya’ nın Göktürk dönemi anthropomarf mezar taşları ile her iki elde tutulan bir kap nedeniyle yakın ilişkiler kurmak mümkündür. - BELLETEN, 243, Cilt: LXV - Sayı: 243 - Yıl: 2001 Ağustos // ayrıntılı: in Russian language about Turkish stels: LİNK _____________ The Zbruch Idol - 9th century Discovered near the village called Liczkowce under Polish rule, now Lychkivtsi (Личківці), Ukraine, just north of Husiatyn, in 1848.
