I was interested in the theme of ancient ceramics and pottery, so I decided to curate this post. I have picked three art pieces that have a common theme of animal depictions. The designs on the ceramics are very detailed and have left me wondering about the reason for choosing a particular animal for each artwork. In the ancient world, ceramics and pottery were popular forms of artistic expression. Each culture had its unique way of creating ceramics, which reflected their beliefs, traditions, and way of life. The animal theme in these three art pieces adds interest, as it raises questions about the significance and meaning of each animal in their respective cultures.
