Possibly the Cutest Stone Age Artifact | The Amber Bear of Slupsk

The Amber Bear of Slupsk was found in 1887 during peat mining near Słupsk, modern-day Poland. It was made by carving and polishing a conveniently shaped piece of sea amber with a natural opening. Signs of wear around the holes indicate it was worn on a cord probably as an amulet. It is estimated that it was made between 9600 and 4100 BC.
