The sculpture known as the 'Swimming Reindeer' was created at least 13,000 years ago and shows a male and female reindeer with their heads raised and legs extended. Carved from the tip of a mammoth tusk, the depiction is remarkable in its naturalism, conveying movemnent and displaying a hunter's knowledge of anatomy. Discovered in 1886 in two separate pieces the sculpture was acquired by the British Museum in 1887.
