A while ago, RoryB set up a great RSS feed that grabbed daily pieces of art from the louvre's website and put them in an RSS feed. I've been subscribed since the beginning and consider it my daily non-geeky thing to see in Sharpreader. :) For some reason, today's piece of art really hit the spot!
Hippopotamus
c. 2000-1900 BC (early Middle Kingdom)
Egyptian faience (glazed silicious pottery)
H 12,7 cm; W 20,5 cm, D 8,1 cm
E 5886
