Looking at the design of those wheels I feel like there was thought and probably iteration there. Those long thick hubs to provide durability and stability using a material not really suited to the use case. The whole thing was probably able to be made fairly quickly. Quite impressive really.

I wonder if they were formed out of something cement-like or cut from stone. It’s not really clear from the picture
That’s just clay. They pinched the wheels from a ball of clay. That’s why the taper is so pronounced.
