Can you imagine the personal value this must have had to the person who carried it around? What they may have done to keep and protect it? The pride they felt in showing it to others? The stories told with it across generations?https://twitter.com/ticiaverveer/status/1013160471556448256 …

This small carving of a water bird was created c. 33,000 years ago. Thought to be a diver, cormorant, or duck. From beak to tail the figure is 4.7 cm long. The sculpted piece of mammoth ivory, found in the Hohle Fels cave in Germany, may be the earliest representation of a bird. pic.twitter.com/e9nOZOn8gH
