Fragment of decorated pottery

Middle and Late Bronze Ages (1500-1200 B.C.)

In one of the caves at the Oloris archaeological site near Dolnji Lakoš, the top part of a larger ceramic vessel with handles was found. It was hand thrown, is orange-brown in colour, with a smooth surface and is made of earthenware clay. It has four handles. One of the handles is in the shape of stylised water birds. Any zoomorphic and anthropomorphic depictions are rare for that time, but this one accentuates the importance of water and game animals of the people in that day and age.
