The items — the head of a king, known as an oba, dating from the 18th century, and an intricately designed 16th-century plaque — were returned by Germany.

Paleontologist Grant Zazula said the animal, which was about one month old when it died, would probably have perished in mud 30,000 years ago, then been encased in the frozen layer of ground known as permafrost. Woolly mammoths died out 10,000 years ago. A female mammoth was found in Siberia in 2017, but did not have a tail, unlike the latest find.
