As I'm attending a conference in Tübingen today for #findsfriday an #IceAge masterpiece that is on display at the University museum: a tiny (4.8 cm lenght) but most splendid figurine from the Swabian Jura - a #horse carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago - the oldest known sculpture of a horse.
