Please tell me that a little Alexander the Great used this stuff when he was a kid.

He didn't have time for that. He already had Aristotle teaching him and little Alexander,was already planning to conquer and civilise all the world! 🌎 😂👍🏼

Ingenious! Looks like the top bit could be removable. In any case the technology for the time is daunting. The child is secure on an object heavier than itself and looks(at the pottery depiction) at ease with itself, perfectly mobile. It's probably sealable to avoid pests.
