Cypriot Limestone Model of a Biga in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, February 2008
Limestone Model of a Biga (chariot drawn by two horses)
Cypriot, Classical, 5th Century BC
Said to be from a temple at Kourion

From the Cesnola Collection, Accession # 74.51.2687

The chariot box of this model is divided into two sections- one for the charioteer, the other for the man being conducted in procession. The harness of the horses is carefully indicated. They even wear bells hanging from straps around their necks.
