Models of bullock or ox carts like this one with a curved frame probably had
wooden components for attaching the wheels and for protecting and containing the
load. People may have even used these carts to peddle pottery or other goods.
The colored patterns on some of the wheels may indicate that the wheels were made
from joined wooden planks, like some of the carts still found in parts of Pakistan.
Other designs may have represented spokes. Terracotta models of yokes that would
have been used to hitch animals to these carts (or to plows) have also been found
at Nausharo. |
