A friend sent me a link to Museum of Artifacts, a website that presents various artifacts of ancient civilizations for your viewing pleasure:
The amber bear amulet was found in 1887 in a peat bog near Slupsk, Poland. When the figure was examined it turned out to be the amulet of a bear hunter, originating from the Neolithic period. It was dated at between 1700 B.C. and 650 B.C.
More here. I can only hope it’s not gone dormant.
