The Egyptian god Bes is depicted on the front of this chariot. Bes was the protective deity of the young, and this would be appropriate if this model chariot was made for a boy. Chariots with the same profile and wheel constructions are shown on sculptures at Persepolis and the so-called Darius seal in this gallery. 5th-4th C BCE Oxus Treasure: 123908
