Social Sciences - Archaeology / Falconry / Hittite sculpture
Spanish term or phrase: dios tutelar
The text below comes from a narrative describing the origins of falconry.

En la obra de Bittel sobre los hititas10, se presenta un relieve ortostato (piedra vertical empleada en la construcción de una cámara megalítica) que muestra el manejo de las aves de presa para la caza en el s IX a.C. Representa un *dios tutelar* que lleva una vara, un ave de presa y una liebre. Procede de Kültepe, antigua ciudad en Anatolia Central, Turquía.

Thank you.
