The artifact below is 8in. long and surely one of the oldest and most sacred artifacts ever discovered and this can be documented as fact.This artifact is a representation of the sacred Tree of Life. Many interpretations of the symbols have changed over time but some cultures have continued to view these symbols as very sacred. Many cultures have separated the branch on the artifact from the artifact symbol itself. You can see how this most sacred symbol can be found in many parts of the world in many different ancient cultures. The artifact is very light weight and could not have been used as a eating utensil. I am convinced it was used for sacred rituals.

The WV artifact below is turned to the same position as the artifact symbol on the Paleolithic Mammoth sculpture.It is the same exact artifact symbol.
The artifact below was found as the same location as the Paleolithic Bull with his head turned back and the exact same Bull can be found on the Large WV MASK.The Paleolithic Mammoth sculpture on Mammoth Ivory was found at LaMadeleine FR. and dated to 15000-30000 yrs. This is one of the oldest sculptured artifacts that shows the SACRED TREE OF LIFE Symbol. The symbol starts at the head of the Mammoth and ends at the rear. At the top of the Mammoths head you can see the exact same branch symbol on the bottom of the artifact the same as the WV artifact. I do not want to elaborate on the symbols but only to show the matching relationships but I have to explain a little more detail about the Mammoth artifact.The LaMadeleine Mammoth artifact is much more than just a Mammoth but it also a Hippo.Rino, Mammoth and the Lion man. The Lion man symbol can be found by looking at the top of the head of the Mammoth and the Mammoths trunk is the Lion mans arm. The sacred symbol bottom (branch) is on the top of the Lion mans head. There is much more to this artifact. This Mammoth artifact is the oldest evidence of the sacred symbol that shows both artifact and the symbol on the artifact.click photo for more info on Mammoth sculpture.

The Paleolithic German Cave Lion dated to 30,000yrs has the exact sacred symbol (branch) on the front and rear legs that can be found on the West Virginia artifact. The photo below in the middle is the Paleolithic cave drawing from LaMarche France and the sacred symbol sticks out from the main drawing. The last picture is the Paleolithic RINO stone also found in France and you can see the artifact symbol in the middle of the Rino artifact.
