Thanks go to Fred Nerks for the link and nice update:
The Mammoth Ivory Male head from Dolni Vestonice
A possible forgery
http://donsmaps.com/hoax.html
Paul Bahn writing in ‘Journey through the Ice Age’, says that the head may be a fake. His main argument seems to be lack of provenance (meaning that it was not found by a recognised and trusted archaeologist, or with reliable witnesses to the discovery) and that the style is too modern. He also says that the Lady of Brassempouy (the ivory carving of Ayla) may be a fake.
