This whalebone figurine dates from circa 2900 – 2400 BC and was originally discovered at Skara Brae in Orkney 1850s. It was found in a stone bed compartment. It was illustrated by the antiquarian George Petrie in the 1860s, but until recently it was thought that his drawing was all that survived of this fascinating object until its rediscovery in 2016
