The item was carved by early humans from a mammoth tusk around 40,000 years ago.
A tusk and pelvis fragment were found during excavations related to the construction of the S17 expressway in southeastern Poland.
The tiny fragment of skin armour represents the northernmost known occurrence of this type of reptile from that period.

Only seven such vessels have been discovered and only four were used as burial urns.
