Model of a Chariot,
Babylonian, Old Babylonian Period
This model represents a chariot protcted by a front shield. The interior
of the shield has been stamped with the image of a worshiper standing
before a god wearing a tall, horned headdress. He holds a rod and ring
in one hand, measuring instruments associated with divine justice. The
elongated figures resemble depictions of deities on cylinder seals from
the period.
