This is part of a relief at the Alacahöyük Sphinxes Gate. For this scene in its original place at that site see http://www.pbase.com/dosseman/image/36007082 Hittite, 14th century BC.
A study in the mid 1990s, supervised by Dr. Hatçe Baltacıoğlu of the Ankara Archaeological Museum, employing stratigraphic data as well as style critique, dates the sculptures of the Sphynxes Gate to the reign of Muwatalli (1306-1282 BC).
