The intricate details of this illustration, from the powerful oxen driving the paddle wheel to the soldiers armed with spears onboard, transport us back in time to an era where such innovative modes of transportation were essential for warfare and trade.
The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail in this artwork bring to life the ancient world of antiquity, where ships like these played a crucial role in shaping history. The rudder steering through water, propelled by the strength of oxen, symbolizes both power and progress.
