A Hittite relief probably dating from the 13th century BCE. It depicts Prince Kuwalanamuwa according to the Luwian hieroglyphics there.
More information on the Hittite Monuments website.
It is almost impossible to see without morning sunlight on it.
Re: access - a nice scenic road over the Gezbeli pass at 1990 metres but not a good idea in winter according to the Dangerous Roads website.
