| Description | "Chariot (similar to type 11, entire front closed) with horses, parabates and heniouchos. Parabates stands behind heniouchos with right arm outstretched. The faces were cast from the sanme mold, representing a smiling face with simple egg-shaped swellings for eyes. Both have flattened bodies and added short, round beards. The horses have low bodies and long, high necks; their mouths are slit and they have broad breastbands and trappings; their feet are dran together, thus not requiring a base. The chariot has wheels with large hubs; on the yokes reins are shown by added bits of clay. |
