One of the oldest museums of Konya, Konya Archeological Museum embraces a wide range of collection secured by both its vicinities and the hinterlands of Anatolia. Within this collection Catalhoyuk findings, Ikonium Necropole and the sarchographuses which are attained from nearby districts and pertain to Roman Empire and Late Archaic Periods appear to be of relatively reasonable importance. The marble sculptures obtained during the excavations of Archaic Savatra (modern Yağlıbayat) contribute great value to the collections of the museum. The Heracles figurine which constitutes the subject of the present study was found in the Archaic City of Savatra taking part in the south of Yağlıbayat village which is at a distance of 12 km. to the 58th km. of Konya-Aksaray highway with a location in its south. After making the definition of the evaluated work, it has been compared with other works in iconography and the dating has been done. The production properties and technical details indicate that the figurine should be dated back to the first mid of the 2nd century B.C. The figurine must be the product of a West Anatolian workshop.
