The amber bear was discovered in Słupsk during peat mining in 1887 and was handed over to the Gesellschaft für Pommersche Geschichte und Altertumskunde in Szczecin.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The amber bear figurine, dated to the Mesolithic or Proto-Neolithic period (ca. 9600-4100 BC), invariably arouses interest and sympathy among visitors, especially the youngest ones. As part of a competition organised by the Education Department of the National Museum (Muzeum Narodowe) in Szczecin, children could choose a name for the bear. Among many interesting and sometimes amusing proposals, the final winner was "Słupcio".
