 Visiting National Museum Copenhagen today! So many amazing objects, one of my favourites: a bear carved from amber 10,000 to 8,000 years ago. Found on the west coast of Fanø, from a submerged settlement of the Mesolithic period. 
Bears played an important role in the life of hunters, the figurines  such as this were worn as pendants.
