Here (finally!), as promised, are some detailed photos of the elaborately (and really rather magnificently) carved and painted Sicilian cart that went through last weekend’s carriage auction. I had hoped to post these yesterday but was having some computer issues and didn’t get anything at all posted. To reward you for your patience, I’m sharing a whopping ten photos here, which you can study at your leisure today and over the weekend. Enjoy!

I know I promised more (better) close-up photos of the Sicilian cart than those I was able to take with my phone camera … but I haven’t had a chance to download them yet.
So in the interim, here are a few views of another item at last weekend’s auction that I found fascinating. This model is, in fact, a salesman’s sample showing a variety of hitch options for a plow. The wooden box the sample comes in also has instructions on putting together the various options.
