Tiny mammoth ivory bird figurines found at Hohle Fels cave – The History Blog https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/76630 "The Hohle Fels Cave in the Swabian Alps of southwestern Germany has yielded two more mammoth ivory figurines: tiny birds that despite their small size are carved with intricate anatomical details. ... They weigh just 1.3 and .7 grams each and may have been carried as talismans by the hunters who occupied the cave 40,000 years ago." #History #Archeology
