Full title: Ice age lion figurine:Ancient fragment of ivory belonging to 40,000 year old animal figurine unearthed


The fragment on the left makes up half the head of the animal figure on the right, showing that the “lion” was fully three-dimensional, and not a relief as long thought.

Note. Not this Lion Man:

the push to make the caves of the Swabian Jura a UNESCO World Heritage site.

There is some serious mental illness going on here thinking that buying in to the UNESCO scammers is a "good thing."
