İvriz relief
The İvriz relief is a Hittite rock relief in south-central Anatolia, located in the town of Aydınkent, formerly called İvriz (modern Turkey, Konya Province, about 17 km south-east of the modern town of Ereğli). The rock relief is on a rock face near the source of the İvriz Suyu, whose water has damaged the relief in modern times. It depicts the late 8th-century BC king Warpalawas and the storm-god Tarhunzas and is accompanied by a hieroglyphic Luwian inscription.
It is the best produced of the many Hittite rock reliefs and measures 4.2 m high by 2.4 m wide. It dates from the second half of the 8th century BC, the time of the Neo-Hittite-Aramean principalities. On the right hand side of the relief is king Warpalawas of Tuwana who stands on a stone platform with his hands raised in a gesture of greeting or worship. Opposite him at left stands the god Tarhunzas, who is depicted as much larger. Ripe ears of corn and grape clusters in his hands indicate that he brings about fertility. A sickle at his hip symbolises the time immediately before the harvest. The location of the relief on the cliff face of the İvriz Suyu suggests that the source of the fertility depicted on the relief was not the rare rains but the water which flowed from this spot almost all year. Thus, the spring could indicate the existence of a local spring cult.〔Mustafa Şahin. "Neue Beobachtungen zum Felsrelief von İvriz/Konya. Nicht in den Krieg, sondern zur Ernte: der Gott mit der Sichel." in A. Çilingiroǧlu (Ed.): ''Proceedings of the Fourth Anatolian Iron Ages Colloquium. Held at Mersin, 19 – 23 May 1997'' (= ''Anatolian Iron Ages'' 4; = ''Anatolian Studies'' 49). British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, London 1999, pp. 165–176.〕 In front of the god's face and behind the king's back are three lines of inscription in Luwian hieroglyphs, naming both figures. Another inscription at the base of the rock-face was probably two lines long, but it is badly worn.〔(İvriz Monument ); Translation of the inscriptions by Hawkins 2000, Part 2, p. 517, with transliteration. See also: Part 3, Tbl. 292–295.〕
During construction work on the weir in 1986, two further finds were made: a fragment of a stele of Tarhunzas, with a bilingual inscription in Luwian hieroglyphs and Phoenician saying that it was erected by Warpalawas and part of the head of a large statue, which probably also depicted Tarhunzas. These finds gave support to the idea that the location was a wealthy sanctuary of Tarhunzas patronised by Warpalawas.〔Dietrich Berges, Johannes Nollé.

It is not so well carved and was never completely finished - the hieroglyphs are missing.〔Dietrich Berges, Johannes Nollé: ''Tyana - Archäologisch-historische Untersuchungen zum südwestlichen Kappadokien''.
