The structured dataset and Enclosure C inventory place Pillar 27 in Enclosure C / Building C. Dietrich et al. 2012 directly reports a low-relief boar on Pillar 27.
What to notice
Pillar 27 is Enclosure C's strongest pillar-imagery anchor, carrying a low-relief boar and a preserved high-relief predator/leopard on its front side. Pillar 27 matters because it brings two different carving modes together on one T-pillar: a boar in low relief and a predator or leopard in high relief. It should be shown as a pillar object, not mixed with the separate porthole-stone predator near Pillar 36 or the boar-marked porthole slab at the dromos. The structured dataset and Enclosure C inventory place Pillar 27 in Enclosure C / Building C. Dietrich et al. 2012 directly reports a low-relief boar on Pillar 27. Dietrich et al. 2012 directly reports a spectacular predator carved in high relief on Pillar 27, with animals and pillar carved from one piece of stone. A 2025 clothing-source figure caption describes Pillars 37 and 27 in Building C during 2009 excavations, says both have relief bands along their entire front sides, and identifies Pillar 27 as the only then-known Göbekli example with a preserved high relief on its front side.
