     There are four parts of a larger set. For the two-wheeled chariot, it was separeted two standing. they used a simple two-piece which are hollow in the center.  Because of that, "the curved back and chest, muscular haunches, and bony legs are all vividly captured; arrowlike recesses in the otherwise smooth body help define the joints."

  About the color designed, long ears, wide eyes nostrils, and open mouths of the deer were accentuates by red pigment.
