This bowl from Shahr-e Sukhteh in Iran is dated to around 3200 BC. It is painted with what might be the world's oldest example of animation. It shows 5 images of a wild goat leaping, and if you spin the bowl the goat leaps and nips a leaf off a tree. Sort of like a flip book. Now in the Museum of Ancient Iran. See the animation here. What a wonderful thing.
