This beautiful toy is made of painted sandstone. It was discovered at Tell el-Amarna.
It depicts three monkeys, two on the left side and one on the right. They are stretching a robe above the horses' heads. All the figures are resting on a chariot with four wheels.
This toy might have been used by the king's daughters to play with.
