Neo-Assyrian figurine of a dog used in protective rituals to guard households from evil. The cuneiform inscription translates to “Loud is his bark!”

Watercolor illustration of a terracotta dog figurine from Boeotia, Greece dating back to around 500 BCE. A simple figurine and yet it evokes all the character of a very happy dog that has found a prized piece of meat.

Finished painting William the Hippopotamus, a cute little artifact at the Met. He’s about 3,900 years old, made of Egyptian faience, and adorned with lotus blossoms.
