This Wikipedia article gives an example of a similar ivory figurine from Upper Paleolite, dated 26,000 - 24,000 BC.
edit: also this thing is on display somewhere in Antropos!? I had no idea there was something interesting inside there, it's always been just the "nearly there" point from my walk from Kamenolom to Duck bar.

Pretty cool that this didn't deteriorate over thousands of years even if it was done in bone.
Of course if enough people decide to agree with the Wikipedia article then the dictionaries will have to be updated but just now i suspect that if you were to ask people to describe what the word meant that very few would mention sculpure.
But I don't think that sculpture really captures it either, it's more like a cameo.

To me the word “portrait” makes me think “painting” as well.. I never would have guessed it refers just to what is being depicted rather than “how”. Thanks for sharing.
Men did strive to be more than club-wielding cavement. We became spear, axe, arrow, gun, cannon, etc wielding cavemen.

Or armed to the teeth? Armed to a level that the most brutish caveman could only dream.
History along with the lack of diversity in the Y-chromosome paint a far different picture than the one you are describing.
Someone should seriously consider having a startup for lab-grown patties.
