Which Is Older? Art Quiz

Two works. One question: Which is older? An ancient Egyptian object against a painting. Armor against porcelain. A sculpture against fashion. Look at the two images, trust your eye, and tap the work you think is older. Then reveal the answer — including the dates of both works and just how many years separate them. Sometimes the answer looks obvious. Sometimes a work that feels surprisingly modern is hundreds or even thousands of years old. No art-history knowledge is required. Just look, guess, and discover.
