description	Posof and its surroundings are encountered with important examples of historical Turkish-Islamic tombstone cultures. These examples reveal important clues of the past day-time Islamic belief and Turkish culture when they are evaluated in terms of their forms, motifs, and iconographic contents. As the Ardahan and its surroundings are in the whole of Kars and its environs, the abstract sculpture tombstones in the form of abstract sculpture, which are widely anticipated in Posof and its environs as well as the surroundings of Kars and its environs, are made up of the Islamic identity of the pre-Islamic sculptural historical Turkish gravestones, they are continuing. The tombstones of Ahiska origin Turks constituting the majority of population in the vicinity of Posof come out against the old tombstones in the form of Turkish sculptures, without the face and the other limbs being abstracted. It is possible to find a group of these important examples in the Old Rabat Cemetery and Kayabaşı Cemetery. Posof and its surroundings are encountered with important examples of historical Turkish-Islamic tombstone cultures.

It is possible to find a group of these important examples in the Old Rabat Cemetery and Kayabaşı Cemetery. The graveyard of the Old Rabat neighborhood connected to Ardahan's Posof district exhibits important examples of the historical Turkish gravestone tradition. However, since most of the tombs were without cisterns, they were more easily destroyed, and only the head and foot prophets could survive. One of these is the inscription of "La ilahe illallah Muhammaden Rasulullah", the headstone of the mausoleum, the other elements of which are lost. This grave continues the tradition of sculptural grave stone, which is widespread in the Ardahan region. The cylindrical neck, which is shaped like a profile "V" collar on both sides, is slightly tall at the head, and is processed in the form of an abstract sculpture with wide shoulders, medals on both shoulders (may be a veteran medal or military rank). All these features strengthen the likelihood that this wartime stone may have remained a grave soldier or a tomb belonging to a gazelle. Although they are extensively isolated in the cemetery called Kayabasi Cemetery in the Kayabaşı Quarter of the center of Posof District, there are examples of tombstones reflecting the tradition of sculpture and balbal style sculpture in Central and Central Asia. The origin of the ancient Turkish tombstone tradition continued in the form of abstract human sculpture with the abstractation of limestones made up according to pre-Islamic beliefs in the Middle and Central Asia, and extending to the balbalara, with the Islamic beliefs gaining an Anatolian identity, Posof region tombstones are important examples of Turkish-Islamic faith, culture and art. It is understood that when the inscriptions of the abstract human sculptured tombstones we read in the verse are read and the motifs are carefully analyzed, it is understood that they are graves of soldiers, martyrs and religious officers, and sometimes graves of noble and leader personality.
