A weathered stone bas-relief carved on a temple wall at Angkor Wat, showing a warrior standing on a chariot with a large spoked wheel at the bottom centre. The chariot is drawn by horses or rearing mounts, and a crowd of smaller carved soldiers with spears and shields fills the lower and surrounding areas. Traces of red and orange pigment remain among the grey sandstone relief. No living people are present; the figures are carved figures in a battle scene.
