Description

A small unglazed clay model shows two standing human figures on a wheeled frame, with a spoked wheel at the left and a team of animals with long necks in front. The figures have rounded heads, and one wears a tall pointed cap. The group sits on an irregular flat base, and the pale clay shows fine cracks and worn edges.
