Sculptured Stone in Elazığ Province, Turkey. A relief recently discovered during afforestation work in the Harput district may date back to 2000 BCE based on its artistic style.
It is not known exactly which date the relief belongs to and it carries both the Late Hittite and Assyrian depictions. There is a tower with wheels and reliefs in which battle scenes are depicted. On the lower right side of the relief is a walking bull, with depictions of turtles and fish going underwater.
Now housed in the Elazığ Archaeology and Ethnography Museum.
