==Art== [[File:Eflatunpinar.jpg|thumb|Monument over a spring at [[Eflatun Pınar]]]] {{main|Hittite art}} Given the size of the empire, there are relatively few remains of Hittite art. These include some impressive monumental carvings, a number of [[rock relief]]s, as well as metalwork, in particular the [[Alaca Höyük bronze standards]], carved ivory, and ceramics, including the [[Hüseyindede vases]]. The Sphinx Gates of [[Alaca Höyük]] and Hattusa, with the monument at the spring of [[Eflatun Pınar]], are among the largest constructed sculptures, along with a number of large recumbent lions, of which the [[Lion of Babylon (statue)|''Lion of Babylon'']] statue at [[Babylon]] is the largest, if it is indeed Hittite. Nearly all are notably worn. Rock reliefs include the [[Hanyeri relief]], and [[Hemite relief]]. The [[Niğde Stele]] from the end of the 8th century BC is a Luwian monument, from the Post-Hittite period, found in the modern Turkish city of [[Niğde]].
