Toy models from Brahamapuri, Carsada, Rairh, Raṅgmahal, Sambhar and Taxila are very similar to modern types. These are available in copper bronze and terracotta. The types consist of simple carts (ekkā), bullock carts, horse-drawn chariots, light racing chariot, etc. These have transverse holes for axle under-neath the body and another hole for the pole in front. The wheels show heavy and clearly defined hubs and fellies (Margabandhu).
