Description
The Löwenmensch figurine or Lion man of the Hohlenstein Stadel is a very early prehistoric sculpture that was discovered in the Hohlenstein-Stadel, a German cave in 1939. The lion-headed figurine, alternately called (by its German names) Löwenmensch (lion-human) and Löwenfrau (lion-woman), is an ivory sculpture that is both the oldest known zoomorphic sculpture in the world, and the oldest known uncontested example of figurative art.

MemberWow!!!
I’m of German decent (as well as a variety of different East & West old European cultures).
Maybe it’s proof that being “furry “ runs far deeper than our 20th and 21st centuries?
