We see the artist taking extreme care to capture the details. We can see clearly the energetic movements of the dancer. It is difficult to gauge  the age of the dancer, but from the figure’s extreme thinness and facial features, we surmise that we are observing a man who is  getting on in years.

When an object is ancient its importance comes from the mere fact that it is an example of something that no longer exists, or something that teaches us about ITS culture or civilization. This is true even of objects that were not created as works of art but as artifacts, such as ancient tools or eating utensils.

But when an object is not only ancient, but is also considered an art object, either when it was created, such as a sculpture or paintings, or in the present day, such as coins or pottery, the object takes on a significance much more meaningful than the mere fact that the object is old.
