War Chariot after an Egyptian Relief
A horse pulls a two-wheeled vehicle carrying several figures with upright weapons. Waddell’s caption identifies the design with a war chariot from reliefs at Abydos, reproduced after Rosellini. He uses the image in an argument about the ancestry of British chariots. The reproduced vehicle and the proposed historical connection are separate parts of the source’s presentation.
