 The stone sits on a device, also made of stone, with three legs similar to a very short tripod ("saçayak", "saç foot", in Turkish, derived from its use to elevate a "saç" (pan) above the ground).It is estimated that the Hamza Stone has been a wish stone since 4,000 years before the present.Today, in the third ritual of ceremony programme of the local Aksu Festival, the stone is visited as a tradition.
