Samsun/Turkey), which houses the ruins of the Hittite cult city of Nerik, two extraordinary ceramic vessels have come to light. The hemispherical bowls, belonging to the Hittite ceramic repertoire, are characterized by unusual small appliqués with nubs on the inner side of the vessel. The two bowls come from secondary find contexts and can be dated in the 15th/14th century BC. Based on a detailed analysis, it is proposed that they were cult vessels used in the Temple of the Weather God of Nerik.
