Cast iron Indian game with rider and horses

Welded cast-iron toy from the Indian 900s, depicting a chariot with a square canopy and conical dome. We can identify this toy-statue as a representation of Krishna's rath gita (bhagavad gita).

Arjuna and Hanuman actually met on a first occasion, when Arjuna helped the monkey-god, manifestation of Shiva, with his ingenuity, advising him to build a bridge of arrows instead of stones. Later, Hanuman, Rama's proud lieutenant, recognised the identity between Krishna and Rama, both avatars of the god Vishnu, and promised to help Arjuna if needed.
