Description

A small terracotta group modelled as a chariot with a spoked wheel on the left and a long pole running forward. Two standing figures ride in the chariot: one bearded figure holds a round shield, and the other wears a tall pointed headdress. The team of animals at the front has manes and heads modelled in clay, and the group stands on a flat base against a plain grey backdrop.
