Terracotta wheeled horse

Terracotta wheeled horse. Culture: Cypriot. Dimensions: H. 8 7/8 in. (22.6 cm). Date: 6th century B.C.(?).
With characteristic imagination, not to say extraordinary foresight, the Cypriot modeler has equipped a draft horse with wheels. On its back it carries two storage jars. From other Greek examples, scholars have hypothesized that these wheeled horses were toys and that the containers carried water.
