This article has very little information. The Wikipedia article has more information https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shigir_Idol but the Russian article is more complete (autotranslation) https://translate.google.com/translate?sl=auto&tl=en&js=y&pr...

In the photos of Wikipedia, it doesn't look like an encrypted message or language, it looks like a decoration, but IANAA.

"Even more mysteriously, it is covered in what experts describe as ‘encrypted code’ - a message from a lost civilisation."

Why should we believe that it's an "encrypted code" rather than just a long-forgotten language that we don't understand?
