The Fasıllar monument is a large statue of the Hittite Storm-god Teshub in a mountain temple, made of basalt stone. It is called locally  Kurt Beşiği what means Wolf's Cradle. The monument depicts two gods on top of each other and a pair of lions of the same size and shape, on both sides of the lower figure of a smaller god. It dates to Muwatalli II (c. 1295–1272 BC) or Tudhaliya IV c. 1237 – 1209 BC i.e the second half of the XIIIth century BC1. Some parts of the monument are are very rough, not detailed - unfinished. Fact that the sculpture was discovered just at the quarry suggests that the monument never reached its place of destination.
