Kernosivsky idol

[1][2] Its importance went unrecognised and it was put aside for disposal, but school children found it and informed the Dmytro Yavornytsky National Historical Museum of Dnipro.

Local public interest was not significant, and the object was loaned for temporary display to the Pushkin Museum, where it was extremely popular.

Due to the work of the director of the Dnipro National Historical Museum, Horpyna Vatchenko, a change in terms of the loan was denied and the object returned to its home region.

It is an anthropomorphic sculpture: the upper part shows a male figure with an elongated face, deep-set eyes and a moustache.

Other illustrations include: weaponry - a bow and arrow and a mace; tools - axes, a hoe, a crucible; animals - a bull, two horse and turtles; on one side a man and a woman are copulating; there are also geometric designs.
