A little bear carved from amber some 6,000+ years ago! 🐻❤️

A hole through the torso suggests it was worn or suspended from a cord.

National Museum in Szczecin, Poland 📷 by me

#Archaeology
My photo shows a small figurine of a bear carved and polished out of a piece of amber between 9600 and 4100 BC. The amber is a deep translucent orange in colour which is emphasised by the display lighting against a dark background which makes the amber glow. The bear's head is carved to show ears, mouth, nostrils and eyes. A hole runs through the bear's torso, suggesting it was threaded onto a cord. Dimensions: Length 10.2 cm, Height 4.2cm I took this photo today at the Landesmuseum Halle in Germany where the bear is currently on loan from Poland for the excellent Shamaness exhibition. The figurine was discovered in Stupsk during peat mining in 1887. According to the National Museum in Szczecin "Shortly after its discovery, the figure underwent conservation work to restore its original appearance as it was covered with a layer of dull patina from the exposure to the minerals contained in the peat. Already at that time, at the end of the 19th century, it was assumed the restoration had gone too far. The figure was stripped entirely of patina, the anatomical features of the animal were emphasised, the eyes and nostrils were sharply drawn, and the amber was carefully polished". In 2013, a competition was organised by the Education Department of the National Museum in Szczecin, for children to choose a name for the bear. The winning name was 'Stupcio', an affectionate diminutive meaning 'little guy from Stupsk'.

The image is of a four panel comic. The title reads, "Suddenly Finding A New Obsession". In the first panel we see Sarah, the protagonist, in front of her computer. She has a bored expression on her face. In the second panel we zoom in on her face. She looks suddenly alert. In the third panel we zoom in even closer on her face. Her eyes and mouth are wide open in intrigue. In the fourth panel we zoom out and see Sarah in front of her computer again, but this time she is dressed in a frog costume, surrounded by frog toys, and has an "I heart frogs" poster behind her.

I'm not sure whether I just witnessed a solar eclipse or a dark souls cutscene. Either way, 10/10, spectacular, no notes.

So interesting 💭

"Relighting 'Nighthawks' - bit.studio reimagines Edward Hopper's classic artwork, turning the most crucial element, the 'light,' into something you can actually control!"

The exhibit is held at the bit.studio gallery on the 3rd floor, Slowcombo building in Samyan, Bangkok.
