To the right and left of this facade are a couple of goddess figures embedded into the walls of the pond. There is a rectangular platform by the south wall with heavily damaged remains of the reliefs of a god and goddess pair on its pond facing side. Several other sculptured fragments have been found inside and around the pond. The largest piece is a triple bull protome to the south of the pond which is not in its original location. That piece was used as a filling material in the wall of a Roman era dam that was built on the southwest side of the pond. Eflatunpınar is one of the few examples of frontal portrayal of human forms in Hittite art of the Empire period (see also Fasıllar and Akpınar).
A large block of rock a few meters behind the wall of reliefs has the remnants of a highly weathered lion on its side. A reconstruction of it suggests that this was a double lion base possibly intended for a statue. It may have been left unfinished.
No inscriptions were found at the site, but based on its proximity to Yalburt, Köylütolu and Hatip this monument may be dated to the second half of the 13th century BCE. The site was subjected to rescue excavations and surface clean up between 1996 and 2002, and landscaping, restoration, and fencing in 2011-2012.
