Model of a touring car
Model of a touring car The lime model found in Amathus served as a grave addition.A two -wheel cart with a tent roof is pulled by two horses.Inside the car, the face of a woman with a veil - perhaps the buried - can be recognized, a servant accompanies the vehicle in a long robe.The horse guide, whose quiet passage stands in contrast to the horses shown in the full run, is between the two -team.In the graves of Amathus, numerous queues of Wagtus were discovered, which show that workshops in Amathus specialized in archaic time in the production of these models.It is mainly about open dispute or racing cars, the shape of the closed covered wagon is rare.Bernhard-Walcher u.Collection catalogs of the KHM Vol. 2, Vienna: 1999 H. 14,5 cm, L. 21 cm
