Toy cart

Many small carts made of clay have been found at Indus Valley sites. Archaeologists believe that they were probably toys for children.

Since no full-sized carts have ever been found, these small toys give us an idea of what real carts might have looked like in an Indus Valley town.

This is a wheel and cart base from a toy cart found at Mohenjo-daro. When it was complete, it probably would have looked like this drawing.
