Sumerian War Wagon

This is a war wagon from the Sumerian civilization of ancient Mesopotamia (now Iraq and Kuwait). Think of it as being a primitive predecessor of the Bronze Age’s famous horse-drawn chariots. Instead of horses, however, the Sumerians would have used a different species of equine native to western Asia known as onagers (Equus hemionus).
