Illyrian amber figures are a group of small human and animal figures made out of amber. They were made from the start of the Iron Age around 1000BC and their production continued down through the millennium. They are found in nearly all of Illyria from Slovenia in the north to Macedonia in the south. The sites with the most figures found are Ripac in Bosnia (15 figures in total of animals and humans) and Ormozh in Slovenia (10 human and 13 animal figures).
