This gate in the east of the great southern bow of the city wall corresponds to the Lion Gate in the west. Here also we have two towers flanking the gate, which again consists of two doorways built as parabolic arches.

The idea was to keep the enemy away from the actual entranceway as long as possible, for although the wooden doors were strong, they were still of wood and thus vulnerable to battering rams and-above all-to fire. The relief decoration on this gate was not on the exterior, but faced inward toward the city: The sculpture of a warrior in high relief-parts of it more than half in the round-measures 2.25 m from the top of the helmet to the tip of the toe.

Dressed only in a short, richly patterned wrap-around skirt, the warrior carries a short sword with a crescent grip tucked into his wide belt. In his hand he holds a decorated axe. On his head he wears a pointed helmet with wide cheek-guards and a protective collar. His long hair falls to his shoulders at the back, and a ribbon attached to the peak of his helmet hangs to elbow-length. One curving horn is sculpted at the front of the helmet; the observer must picture a second out of sight at the back. Because horns on the helmet are attributes of the gods, our warrior is likely to be the representation of a god. He may well be Sharrumma, son of the weather-god Teshub and the sun-goddess Hepat, patron and protector of the Great King Tudhaliya IV. This king, who is thought to be responsable for some of the buildings in the Upper City, might well have honored his own patron god with this monument.
