Did you know? While horses have often been depicted as symbols of nobility and power in art, the donkey, and by extension the mule (a hybrid offspring of a horse and a donkey), has often carried different symbolic weight. The donkey is frequently associated with humility and service.  This symbolism has influenced the portrayal of donkeys in art throughout history, often depicting them as gentle, hardworking, and humble creatures.
