This sculpture is the most famous prehistoric artifact of Slovakia. Its origin dates back to 22 800 years into the past. It was discovered accidentally when plowed in Podkovica near Moravany nad Váhom. This popular statue has a height of only 8 cm and is carved from mammoth tusk. The original is now stored in the vaults of the National Bank of Slovakia, but a copy can be found in Spa Museum in Piešťany and also in the collections of the Bratislava Castle.
