This meticulously designed horse carriage cast in bronze is so accurate in the construction of all its elements that it could almost serve as a to-scale miniature model of a real carriage alluding to axle, yoke, wheels with spokes, suspension device and a deck having elaborate chequered pattern of rope filling in brass and copper.
Yoked to the carriage are two horses decked with caparisons and mounted on wheels so that the carriage could be smoothly drawn on a string.
