Illyrian amber figures are a group of small human and animal figures made out of amber. They were made from the start of the

Bosnia (15 figures in total of animals and humans) and Ormož in Slovenia (10 human and 13 animal figures). The purpose of these figures is still a mystery, and they could as well have been Illyrian deities, figures to represent the cult of the dead, or simply children's toys. Amber was a material that Illyrians were very fond of, and many of their jewellery and decorative objects were made of amber.[1]
