Description: In the Carpathian Basin, the funerary urn from Veľké Raškovce/Nagyráska (Slovakia) is decorated with four symmetrically arranged incised depictions of two-wheeled carts, each drawn by a pair of horses, and a schematic human figure probably holding a sword behind each cart (Fig. 11. 1). The vehicle on the urn could equally well symbolise the funerary cart taking the deceased on the last journey or a war chariot. The burial can be assigned to the Piliny culture, to the Br C period (fourteenth century BC). https://akjournals.com/configurable/content/journals$002f072$002f73$002f2$002farticle-p143.xml?t:ac=journals%24002f072%24002f73%24002f2%24002farticle-p143.xml
