A pottery boar's head rhyton (ca. 6.5 cm high) from Göltepe, dating a century or two prior to the development of the Hittite state. The Hittites distinguished pig's lard from sheep's fat. Lard was a valuable commodity and a tasty dish, offered up even to the gods. Sheep's fat was used alongside wax to make figurines that could be destroyed, probably melted, in apotropaic rituals.
