To me it looks like the top of a signet ring or some other seal. Dragon is what I see in the black, though it could be a stylized horse.

I’m puzzled by the last paragraph. Is the author trying to lecture us?
What does the author consider “things we don’t need”?
Are we getting a moral lesson from an archeological artifact?

There are many cave paintings showing brave Dachshunds battling dinosaurs.

That’s pretty good for a dog breed that wasn’t developed until the 1700’s................

Further proof that people were more intelligent in the past and the more distant the more critically intelligent.

Other than the obviously utilitarian (and even sometimes then) people buy things that represent ideas or ideals that they have about themselves, life, etc.

It’s true that you ‘can’t take it with you’, but I’ve wondered if we don’t carry the ideas and concepts that ‘things’ have really represented to us. Will a Mozart or Beethoven carry with him the impulse or creative idea that resulted in his own favorite creations?

“stop buying things you don’t need.”
But it was on sale, plus, I had a coupon.

“Is the author trying to lecture us?”

Yup—she is another disgusting Karen—the dungheap of humanity.

It was in the 1700s that someone finally had the idea to use them to go after badgers.

Before that, they were always fighting dinosaurs.

In fact, it was Dachshunds that caused the extinction of dinosaurs.
