I selected this artwork because the three colors used in the art really stand out. The picture is interesting.
I learn Greek culture from the work.

I think it is interesting to tell a story in a 3-D artwork.
This artwork date back to 460 B.C., which means the story of Odysseus is older than 460 B.C.
Picture: Odysseus returning to Penelope

Title: Set of Twelve Zodiac Animals
Date: 8th century

The 12 forms are interesting with different animal head.
I learn this set of animals represents the twelve-year cycle and the twelve hours of the day in the Chinese calendar.
