Personifications of the sun and moon can be found in old chariot-themed art, but in those days, they were full figures with sun and moon heads. One can see them in old zodiacs also, with the sun and moon faces sometimes representing both Pagan themes and early Christian themes (Jesus and Mary).
Eventually the body became disengaged from the head. Hildegard von Bingen did it c. late 12th century, so this might be one of the earlier examples.
DigBib MS 287 has them in a marginal drawing that looks like it might be part of the original manuscript, but I haven't been able to find a date. The script style is earlier than 14th century.
