Puduhepa
Strength and elegance crowned with the queen’s timeless seal.
The Hittite civilization is distinguished from the world’s first civilizations by its principle of equality. Women and men were considered equal. Women had the same say as men in daily life, religious, and political affairs. Some queens’ seals were even placed alongside the king’s seals on treaties, including the world’s first peace treaty, the Treaty of Kadesh. One of these queens was Puduhepa, one of the most important queens of the Hittite Empire, whose seal appeared next to the king’s. Puduhepa represents peace, women’s rights, and the strength of Anatolian women, serving as an inspiring figure for them.
Tarih boyunca Anadolu kadınları sayısız zorlukla karşılaşmıştır. En güçlü özellikleri, zaman içinde gösterdikleri direnç, özveri ve toplumsal bağlılıktır. Zorlu coğrafi ve ekonomik koşullara rağmen, ailelerini ve toplumlarını ayakta tutmak için büyük bir adanmışlıkla çalışmışlardır. Hitit İmparatorluğu döneminde Puduhepa ile başlayan bu gelenek, günümüze kadar kesintisiz olarak devam etmektedir.
When designing our buffet, we wanted to draw inspiration from the Anatolian woman and the strength she represents, embodied in Puduhepa. The buffet has a massive and masculine form but also possesses elegant and delicate details. It is both graceful and strong, just as we envisioned, just like the Anatolian woman…
Kulpu:
One of the most special details of this buffet is the handle. It is carved from Mardin stone by our craftsmen from Mardin and represents Puduhepa’s seal. The handle, used to open this buffet, is the very seal symbolizing peace and the power of Anatolian women.
Puduhepa’nın bir zamanlar dediği gibi:
“Ey, bana uzak geleceğimin kokusunu, rengini ve nefesini getiren bilge yolcu!
Ey, aradıkça daha çok bulan kardeş,
Ey, buldukça merakı artan kardeş,
Sana 3.500 yıl öncesinden sesleniyorum...
Ben, Hitit Kralı Hattuşili’nin eşi,
Hitit İmparatorluğu’nun kraliçesi,
Kumanni Şehri’nin kızı,
Kraliçe Puduhepa...
Topraklarımda yaşayacak kadınları düşündüğümde,
Benden sonra var olacakları düşündüğümde,
Her zaman bir gülümseme gelir aklıma,
Dünyanın cesur, umutlu ve kendinden emin kadınları...
Mührüm, sana armağanımdır.
Mührüm, sana armağanımdır.
Mühürüm, umutlarının da mührü olsun.
Onu sakla ve koru...”
