The figurine is crafted along the direction of the ivory's growth. The entire surface is extensively reworked and polished. The markings also appear highly polished, suggesting that this figurine was used over an extended period. Primarily, the left half of the body is preserved. The head and tail are missing. At the location where the neck should attach, the surface is completely smoothed and marked. The right front leg is only present at the base, and the right hind leg is preserved as a stump. The left limbs are present up to approximately the knee region. The central lamella is only preserved in the front half of the body. Despite being strongly fragmented, the outlines are clearly discernible. The torso is noticeably elongated and cylindrical. The back line slopes slightly backward, and there is a small depression in the lumbar region. The pelvic region protrudes distinctly. Toward the buttocks, the back line slopes slightly angularly without showing a tail attachment. The belly is slightly sagging. The front legs are very thin and detached from the body. The thigh of the well-preserved hind leg is distinctly separated from the torso, and both hind legs are slender. A slight stepping posture is recognizable. According to Riek (1934), due to the elongated body shape and especially the thin legs, this represents a cervid, more specifically a reindeer (Rangifer tarandus). Hahn (1986) also considers a felid as a possibility.

The nose is distinctly carved and separated from the cheek by a horizontal line. Below, the mouth begins, shaped by a long, deep, and wide line. The chin is set off from the cheeks. The snout is overall narrow, while the cheeks are strongly curved. Fine decorations characterize the preserved original surfaces. The entire piece exhibits a polish, suggesting prolonged handling over an extended period. This head was initially identified as the head of a horse; however, in 2022 the body of the figurine was found and it clearly depicts a bear. This fragment of a figurative animal representation was discovered in 2004 in AH IId, which corresponds to a transitional or mixed layer between the Aurignacian and Gravettian periods. It was recently identified as part of the Hohle Fels Bear figurine. The piece is broken along the natural stratification of the ivory. The preserved surface indicates careful carving, and the polished surface suggests extended use. Parts of the back and abdomen are preserved, as well as the attachment point of a leg.

The legs appear to be rather short, and the upward-stretched neck also suggests a small, ground-dwelling animal. The notched decoration suggests the interpretation of a hedgehog.

Although the torso is smoothed, numerous tool marks are visible. The head is narrow and set off from the body by a deep notch. The eye, ear, and mouth are schematically represented by notches.

Below the waist, the buttocks area slightly protrudes. Legs are not represented, and the figurine is provided with a button-like, unworked thickening at its lower end.

The mammoth is depicted in a round and voluminous manner, with a dome-like head slightly offset from the face. Eyes and ears are finely carved with impressive anatomical accuracy. The trunk is not preserved in the middle part, slightly extending from the body and touching the feet at the bottom, as evidenced by a small material residue. The tusks are not represented, but a mouth is clearly visible. The neck is deeply saddled, the shoulders protrude high, and the back line falls straight to the buttocks. The tail is short and only slightly indicated. The front and hind legs are slender compared to the body mass and are slightly stretched forward and backward, respectively. Additionally, the soles of the feet touch each other; this is not a natural standing posture for a mammoth.

The figurine was crafted from the right tusk of a mammoth. The head is oriented towards the tip of the tusk, and the pulp cavity forms the crotch of the figurine. The outer sides of the arms are made of cement, as well as the upper part of the back. Many parts of the figurine are missing or could not be matched. Additionally, the surfaces are partially heavily weathered. The figure stands upright, with the legs slightly apart. The head is clearly that of a lion, but the position of the head is comparable to that of a human due to the upright posture. The neck starts below the skull, and the face is oriented forward. The snout is broad, with two deep lines marking the nose and mouth. There is no lip cleft, which would be typical for a lion. The eyes are located laterally but facing forward. The ears, in their round shape, are typical lion ears. The neck and the back of the head are noticeably wide and almost seamlessly transition into the back and shoulders. The shoulder blades are distinctly carved. The arms, which have lion-like paws instead of hands, are slightly bent at the body but do not touch the torso. The torso is columnar and elongated, giving the proportions an overstretched appearance. Although the original surface is largely missing in the front torso area, some areas are preserved along the collarbones and in the lower abdominal region. This is evident in the large, deep-set navel and a apron-like extension carved in the front pelvic area. The legs are spread approximately shoulder-width apart. They exhibit distinctly human features such as knees, curved calves, ankles, and heels. It is notable that the feet are not horizontal, suggesting that the figure seems to be standing on tiptoes. The dots are uncertain. They appear on the head area, however, it is not possible to distinguish them from the waething effects in this part of the figurine. here, a fictional number of 20 is applied, however no certain counting is possible.", "collection": "Museum Ulm", "collection_id": "", "references": "Hahn J. 1970; Wehrberger K. 2013; Kind C.-J. et al. 2014; Ebinger-Rist N. et al. 2018; Dutkiewicz E. 2021: Taf. 11a-11b", "sign_coding": "||||||| _ ≠ _ vvv _ v _ vvvvvvvv _ [!°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°!]", "coding_certainty": "certain", "material_dropdown": "", "object_type_dropdown": ""}, {"id": 536, "object_id": "vhc0059", "ensemble_id": "", "original_examined": "0", "archaeological_period": "Upper Paleolithic", "archaeological_unit": "Aurignacian", "site_name": "Vogelherd", "site_id": "vhc", "location": "Niederstotzingen-Stetten", "country": "Germany", "latitude": "48.559000", "longitude": "10.194000", "coord_precision": "precise", "coord_reference": "nespos.org", "layer": "HL/KS", "dating_method": "C14", "date_bp_min": "26160±150", "min_lab_number": "KIA 8957", "date_bp_max": "35810±710", "max_lab_number": "PL0001337A", "excavation_year": "2008", "material": "ivory", "material_species": "Mammuthus primigenius", "object_type": "figurine", "associated_species": "undetermined", "length_mm": 25.0, "width_mm": 15.0, "depth_mm": 7.0, "preservation": "fragmented", "short_description": "Slightly curved, heavily reworked ivory fragment with a carefully smoothed and polished surface.", "collection": "Universität Tübingen", "collection_id": "Find No.: 38/78-18.1", "references": "Conard N. & Malina M. 2012; Wolf S. 2015, Taf. 42.3; Dutkiewicz E. 2021: Taf. 27.6; Conard N. & Bolus M. 2003, 2008", "sign_coding": "!^^^^^^ |!", "coding_certainty": "certain", "material_dropdown": "", "object_type_dropdown": ""}, {"id": 585, "object_id": "vhc0106", "ensemble_id": "", "original_examined": "0", "archaeological_period": "Upper Paleolithic", "archaeological_unit": "Aurignacian", "site_name": "Vogelherd", "site_id": "vhc", "location": "Niederstotzingen-Stetten", "country": "Germany", "latitude": "48.559000", "longitude": "10.194000", "coord_precision": "precise", "coord_reference": "nespos.org", "layer": "DL/KS", "dating_method": "C14", "date_bp_min": "26160±150", "min_lab_number": "KIA 8957", "date_bp_max": "35810±710", "max_lab_number": "PL0001337A", "excavation_year": "2005", "material": "ivory", "material_species": "Mammuthus primigenius", "object_type": "possible figurine", "associated_species": "", "length_mm": 17.0, "width_mm": 8.0, "depth_mm": 3.0, "preservation": "fragmented", "short_description": "Elongated ivory fragment with a strong whitish to black patina.", "collection": "Universität Tübingen", "collection_id": "Find No.: 47/65-118.1", "references": "Conard N. & Malina M. 2006b; Dutkiewicz E. 2021: Taf.29.7; Conard N. & Bolus M. 2003, 2008", "sign_coding": "!⊞!", "coding_certainty": "certain", "material_dropdown": "", "object_type_dropdown": ""}, {"id": 632, "object_id": "vhc0151", "ensemble_id": "", "original_examined": "0", "archaeological_period": "Upper Paleolithic", "archaeological_unit": "Aurignacian", "site_name": "Vogelherd", "site_id": "vhc", "location": "Niederstotzingen-Stetten", "country": "Germany", "latitude": "48.559000", "longitude": "10.194000", "coord_precision": "precise", "coord_reference": "nespos.org", "layer": "V", "dating_method": "C14", "date_bp_min": "30162±1,340", "min_lab_number": "H 4054-3210", "date_bp_max": "35810±710", "max_lab_number": "PL0001337A", "excavation_year": "1931", "material": "fossil", "material_species": "", "object_type": "undetermined", "associated_species": "", "length_mm": 77.0, "width_mm": 24.0, "depth_mm": 26.0, "preservation": "almost complete", "short_description": "Fragment of a Lias ammonite.", "collection": "URMU Blaubeuren", "collection_id": "Find No.: Vg 29.14", "references": "Riek G. 1934, Taf.

One fragment constitutes the hind legs and hip region, previously described by Riek as part of a mammoth figurine. He also found the front part but failed to recognize the correlation between both fragments. This is due to only the transition from head to neck, including the shoulder attachment, and the sole of the foot being preserved. The piece is conically broken along the growth line of the ivory, forming the center of a dentin cone. When assembled according to the growth rings, the presumed length of the figurine is at least 7 cm, with a height of 6 cm, making it one of the largest figures from the Swabian Aurignacian. The hind part is heavily weathered, with the two large growth lamellae running vertically through the figurine completely separated, and their edges broken. The surface is severely deteriorated, and a larger area has chipped off around the buttocks. In contrast, the front fragment is much better preserved. Although the original surface is only retained in the neck area and on the sole of the foot, it is hardly affected. Presumably, this figurine broke before being deposited in the sediment, explaining the differing degrees of weathering in both parts. Despite its fragmented state, the figurine is clearly identifiable as a mammoth. In this depiction, the front part forms the back, with the section that slopes steeper upward. It is also possible that the lower curve becomes the back, although in this projection, it does not meet the rear part of the back line in the expected curvature. The proposed reconstruction seems more plausible in this case. The head is separated from the towering shoulders by a clear depression in the neck area.

The cancellous surface forms an oval field into which the relief depiction of a mammoth is inserted. Clearly visible are the trunk, the mouth, the front leg, and the abdominal line. The hind leg is only visible cranially, and towards the caudal end, the surface is too cancellous, making the outline not discernible.

The back is smoothed with four rows of cup-like depressions. On the front side, a human figure is depicted in bas-relief. Despite significant surface loss, the outlines of the figure are discernible. The figure fills the rectangular shape symmetrically, with slightly bent arms stretched upwards, slightly bent legs, and outward-pointing feet. An elongated extension between the feet hangs down from the body. The feet do not reach the lower edge of the plate, but the head slightly protrudes, giving it a more three-dimensional effect. The crown and even the back of the head are sculpted. The proportions of the upper body are accurate, but the torso appears elongated, with the legs depicted shorter in comparison. Due to the mostly lost surface, little can be said about the details of the body.

While initially identified as a bison, it is more likely to represent a musk ox. The lowered head position closely to the body and the massive, box-like appearance of the body support this interpretation. The high withers are above the head, and the back line slopes slightly towards the torso. Only the leg beginnings are preserved. Despite its small size, the head is carefully crafted. The horns, eye area, and nostrils are finely detailed. The typical chin beard starts below the mouth. The shoulders are massive, while the rest of the body appears comparatively small and fragile.
