The Lion Man of Hohlenstein-Stadel, Germany, sculpted from mammoth ivory over 40,000 years ago, is a profound testament to early human creativity and spiritual beliefs. Standing 31cm tall, this figure combines a lion’s head with a human-like body, symbolizing a deep connection between humans and the natural world. Its existence challenges our understanding of ancient societies, offering a glimpse into their symbolic thinking and artistic capabilities.
