I have collected some images of Paintings of Achaemenid Persians & Scythians from the Tatarli Tumulus, a Lydian tomb chamber built around 470 B.C. in southern Phrygia (http://warfare.ml/Ancient/Tatarli_Tumulus_Frieze.htm), but there were not many images of the Scythians.

Reproduction of Achaemenid Persian infantry defeating Scythians, Tatarli Tumulus, Lydian tomb, Phrygia, c.470 BC (http://warfare.ml/Ancient/Tatarli_Tumulus_Frieze-4b.htm)
Compare the chariot to a model of Achaemenid Persian Gold Chariot, Oxus Treasure, British Museum (http://warfare.ml/Ancient/Model_of_gold_chariot.htm)
Does anyone have more images of the original wooden beams or reproductions?
