Well, Lowenmench (Lion-man), german name because it was found in German cave in 1939.
The sculpture is dated back by radiocarbon dating to 35000 - 40000 years old.
It is one of the first known manifestation of art by Homo Sapiens, and 35000 years is when Sapiens populated pretty much a big part of Eurasia.
Also what is interesting about the Lowemensch is that it has the human body and head of a lion (Löwe). That means people back 35000 years ago have had the ability to imagine things that do not exist.
