===Other objects=== The structures at Göbekli Tepe have also yielded a number of smaller carved stones, which typically cannot be attributed to one period or another. The iconography of these objects is similar to that of the pillars, mostly depicting animals, but also humans, again primarily male.{{sfn|Schmidt|2011|pp=929–930}}{{sfn|Dietrich et al.|2019|p=26}} <gallery mode="packed" heights="140"> File:Urfa museum Animal relief sept 2019 4772.jpg|Carved stone with animal (possibly a reptile, felid, or wolverine) in high relief File:Urfa museum Boar statue sept 2019 4766.jpg|Boar statuette with legs File:Urfa_museum_Totem_sept_2019_4806.jpg|Sculptured stone pole File:Göbekli2012-27.jpg|Boar statuette without legs File:Urfa museum Animal statuette sept 2019 4754.jpg|Head of an animal </gallery> A "totem pole" was discovered in one of the structures, dating to the early PPNB. Reassembled, it is {{Convert|192|cm|ft}} tall and {{Convert|30|cm|ft}} in diameter. It depicts three figures (from top to bottom): a predator (a bear or large felid) with a missing head, and the neck and arms of a human; another figure missing a head with human arms, likely male; and a third figure with a head that had survived intact. Snakes are carved on either side.{{sfn|Köksal-Schmidt|Schmidt|2010}}
