The craftsmanship displayed in this ornate carving is truly remarkable. Every intricate detail has been meticulously sculpted, capturing the essence of this mythical expedition. The horizontal bas relief reveals a beautifully carved cart pulled by two majestic horses, symbolizing the couple's passage through realms unknown.

Their intertwined hands convey unity and unwavering commitment as they face their shared destiny with courage. Indoors, this sculpture stands as a testament to human creativity throughout history. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient civilizations' interpretations of life after death and their spiritual journeys.
