A 5,000-year-old chalk sculpture of a "talismans drum" found in a grave of three children has been hailed as "one of the most significant" ancient discoveries in the UK.

It was unearthed near Burton Agnes in East Yorkshire and will go on display at the British Museum from 17 February.

The museum said it was "the most important piece of prehistoric art" uncovered in Britain in a century.

It is similar to three "Folkton drums" found in North Yorkshire in 1889.
