Mold depicting a charioteer and archer
Not on view
This small clay disc depicts a warrior unleashing an arrow while driven by a charioteer, perhaps a heraldic image of a Mauryan ruler in the Achaemenid tradition of warrior-kingship. It was excavated together with inscribed ring stones and probably also served as a jeweler’s mold for ear ornaments.
