This is a part of a larger relief, with the children of King Araras. From Carchemish, second half of the eight century BC.

Two young princes while playing with knucklebones. In between them: a short text written in Luwian hieroglyphs (the identification of the figures by name).
Detail of the large ‘relief of Yariri/Araras and Kamani’, that was located at the front face of the Royal Buttress.
Neo-Hittite, basalt, Assyrian style.
