Open To Interpretation
Lobster And Octupus
Notes: welp, they're supposed to be facing off on a staircase...missed that...misses make mystery!...I hadn't thought, do Lobsters and Octupi fight?...brb...certainly they do!...lol...Lobsters hop backwards with a tail flip like Grasshoppers!...lots of youtube clips...and a popular motif in Old Roman mosaics/frescos...Greek?...brb...Octupi on the Minoan vases, but no lobster, save for a neat Lobster Claw lamp...the Japanese jumped to it with Lobsters, for designs and such, as they have 'armor'...

Lobsters were the subject of black-glazed figural askos vases, such as a terracotta vessel in the form of a lobster claw, Greece circa 400 - 460 BCE (e.g., http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/ancient-art-antiquities/an-attic-blackglazed-figural-askos-class-of-5321793-details.aspx). These were complex structures made via molds and free modeling. Lobsters occasionally decorated Roman table utensils and also appeared on wall drawings and reliefs. However the bulk of the information on lobsters from the Ancient Era in the Mediterranean Basin comes from written text and mosaics (for a detailed list see Table I in Charmantier 2014).
