this marble statue is called Youthful Hercules. it is made in it is well-expressed the character of Herclues as young and powerful. on his right hand, he grab a club behind his hip. his hair is portrayed with curly hair, and muscles. Overally,  he seems a hero as we read hercules story in the book in class and also handsome guy.

this is called limestone statue of herakles. it is made in the late 6th centruy BC. this statue is damaged on its face, arms, and legs. it looks weird and looks like a monster even though it is herakles. To compare this with previous one, it’s sort of miniature. it doesn’t look great and doesn’t show any strength and overwhelmed character.  he is wearing lion skin and a short tunic.

this is The Fire-God Agni and the Yaksha General Anila. This painting is combined two styles, tibetan and sophisticated Chinese embroidery. it looks red as it is painting of the fire god. he sits on the flower as usual as we find it from other buddhism artifacts. i could feel the difference between this and other buddhism artifacts that i usually saw. the Buddhism artifacts that i saw before were most likely influenced by Chinese culture. it was unique painting to me.
