Chariot Canopy Shaft
A slender cylindrical bronze shaft, decorated with silver-inlaid scrolling tendrils, hooked motifs and geometric bands that encircle its length. Patches of corrosion and green patina mark the surface, and the segmented collars divide the shaft into sections.
Look closer: Green corrosion and small losses of silver inlay near the lower end of the shaft.
