However, the foreparts of the animal are clearly equine (ears, neck, head) and the rear legs are also quite different from those of a camelid. Furthermore, the two-humped (Bactrian) camel was mostly used as a pack animal, while the single-humped camel (dromedary) was prefered for cavalry due to its speed and easier domestication. 1 330 BC 330 -0330 reference term-10543 adlib-term-10543 fd508ee1-9316-385b-986b-c183038f7834 Achaemenid reference term-31052 adlib-term-31052 235d1053-e563-3a45-b632-2ba5c0da9ec6 hematite Depth m 0.027 Length m 0.018 Width m 0.018 reference media-60549 adlib-media-60549 344bb1eb-8a72-357f-84ae-60d4b669b802 jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 757 width pixels 760 1742585193701 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/mid_ANE_255_1982_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 498 width pixels 500 1742585193701 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 757 width pixels 760 1742585193701 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/preview_ANE_255_1982_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 249 width pixels 250 1742585193701 1 image 0 media image reference media-60550 adlib-media-60550 f29e0fce-97c1-38c0-9521-153955b2551e jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 583 width pixels 760 1742585131276 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/mid_ANE_255_1982_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 384 width pixels 500 1742585131276 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 583 width pixels 760 1742585131276 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/preview_ANE_255_1982_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 192 width pixels 250 1742585131276 1 image 1 media image reference media-60551 adlib-media-60551 e8e8b40d-eff4-3a1e-8906-2bd45f7959c2 jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 523 width pixels 760 1742585130582 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/mid_ANE_255_1982_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 344 width pixels 500 1742585130582 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 523 width pixels 760 1742585130582 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/preview_ANE_255_1982_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 172 width pixels 250 1742585130582 1 image 2 media image reference media-60552 adlib-media-60552 edebba35-dd34-3d61-95a1-6b51868f7f29 jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 750 1742585137389 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/mid_ANE_255_1982_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 507 width pixels 500 1742585137389 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/ANE_255_1982_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 750 1742585137389 1 image jpeg ant/ant23/preview_ANE_255_1982_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 253 width pixels 250 1742585137389 1 image 3 media image reference term-120486 adlib-term-120486 539d0e7e-f693-3adf-bf6e-b39cfc8825a1 stamp seal reference agent-149638 adlib-agent-149638 7376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8 The Fitzwilliam Museum reference publication-4456 adlib-publication-4456 458f3a13-95be-3ae3-9586-709cf0e5ba15 Sotheby's Sale Catalogue, 1 December 1930 reference publication-4556 adlib-publication-4556 41cbbe93-4205-3d39-8049-a0bcf82935fd The Wellcome gems : a Fitzwilliam Museum catalogue reference term-10543 adlib-term-10543 fd508ee1-9316-385b-986b-c183038f7834 Achaemenid
