Answer

a 2,000-year-old urn

Explanation

The correct answer is the 2,000-year-old urn because Ai Weiwei's artwork "Dropping a Han Dynasty Urn" specifically features the destruction of this ancient object. The series of photographs captures the moment before, during, and after the urn is dropped and shatters on the ground. This work is a commentary on the loss of cultural heritage and is a direct reference to the lack of concern by the Chinese government for preserving the past. The other options listed (three eggshells, a child's toy horse, a glass sphere, a red Ferrari) are not related to this particular work by Ai Weiwei.
