    Looks like the wheels would come off pretty easily.

    I wonder whether humans have evolved a fascination with vehicles. Like, thinking carts and chariots were cool made it more likely for your village to survive or for an individual specifically to reproduce.

      I would guess they used wood pegs either end to make it durable. Wood doesn’t preserve as well and stone.

      There’s also no sense of scale. To me it looks like a roller skate. Shaped like a sandal, wider wheel base at the front for stability and it could have have leather or twine round the back of the heal. I could be totally wrong but that was my thinking when looking at it.
