What is remarkable is that this bowl depicts a stylized image of a human face with extremely clear eyes and nose, missing the mouth, and two bumps on the forehead reminiscent of horns. Photo: @Jagiellonian University.
Around the place where this bowl was found, archaeologists also found more than 3,000 other ancient artifacts, including stone tools used to make leather scrapers, wood and bone processing tools, and even sickles...

However, it seems that this is an unusual artifact that may be related to a sacred element of ancient indigenous culture." Photo: @Jagiellonian University.
