Urn

Middle Bronze Age (middle of the 4th century B.C.)

At the site, Pod kotom–south, an urnfield site with 179 urn burials was found, one of the larger burial sites from that era in Europe. One of the most beautiful urns was found in the grave, marked 109, which was the burial site of a child, aged about five years. The urn was decorated, using the incising technique, in the shape of wide bands. Two of them stand out as they adjoin and continue vertically along the body of the urn. The incisions of the decorations were filled with white.
