The Skara Brae Buddo is an ancient humanoid figurine, carved from whalebone, dating to approximately 2900–2400 BCE and found in the Neolithic settlement of Skara Brae in what is now modern-day Scotland. Per the Stromness Museum description of the piece:

Buddo is an Orcadian word which is a term of endearment and isn’t gender-specific. It’s an appropriate name, as although many prehistoric figurines are thought to be female, there is nothing to suggest Buddo’s gender.
