Description

A small terracotta group showing a two-wheeled vehicle with a long pole pulled forward by three animals, each with upright, horn-like projections on its head. Two standing human figures ride in the body: the left one wears a pointed cap, and the right one reaches forward with its arms along the pole. The group stands on an irregular clay base, with a pale grey-buff, worn surface, photographed against a plain light background.
