Image: An extremely ornate, gilded carriage belonging to Emperor Maximilian I and Empress Carlota of Mexico, on display in the Museo Nacional de Historia (Castillo de Chapultepec) in Mexico City. The carriage is highly decorated with carvings, sculptures, and gold leaf. It has large, red-spoked wheels and a red and gold interior. A red, fringed canopy extends over a portion of the carriage, possibly shielding a seating position. The carriage is on a dark floor in a modern-looking museum setting with a red stanchion rope, and a sign in the foreground.
