Vas ceramic

Large clay bowl-type vessel, dating from the Cucuteni-Tripolie culture, 4th-3rd millennium BC. It is part of the same archaeological research from Rezina, Ungheni, from 1994. The execution is coarse, glued. The piece has seven torches positioned on the entire outer surface, uniformly, used to insert the rope necessary to move the vessel from one place to another. The vessel belongs to the category of utilitarian ceramics, the present specimen being used for storing grains. The decoration is completely missing, which confirms its utilitarian attribution. When discovered, the piece was completely shattered, due to the collapse of the bridge and roof of the room in which it was caught in the cataclysm. The restoration and conservation were carried out by the researcher at the time of discovery. It is the only Cucuteni vessel of such size discovered in the Prut-Dniester interfluve.
