Way off the scale in terms of time-span (the Somme figurines are thought to be only 6,000 years old) I've been looking at the Hohlefels Hohle figurine.
The earliest undisputed artefact known at 35,000 - 40,000 years old. And yet not that dissimilar, there is a hole where the head should be - so perhaps a amulet.

Wow, that is OLD!

Interesting incised lines on the arms and belly, representations of tattoos perhaps?
