I don’t believe that there is an answer to this question because any object can be broken down into something smaller (putting it together) which were not allowed to do. However, if I had to chose something that was set in front of me to answer this question with I would chose what looked like a small egeption sculpture. What I would say about it is that the whole sculpture is not the same texture. This would be correct because you could use two of your senses to prove this. Number one touch, and number two sight. Both of these senses are key to life (making them very important) so there is no way to doubt them.
