I'm in awe: holding a 40,000-year-old #IceAge masterpiece in your hand is something you don't get to do every day!
The amazing figurine of a woolly mammoth is carved in mammoth ivory. It will be on display at Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg from Saturday.

Found in the Vogelherd cave on the Swabian Jura, south-west Germany.

And yes, I'm really, really happy 😊
