Vinca Idol, 5th millennium BC (*)
fired clay with pigment remains, ple-
xiglass base
Vinca is the name of an archaeologi-
cal site near Belgrade (Serbia), more
precisely a „tell“ or settlement mound
with nine meters of stratified occup-
ation layers. The Neolithic–Chalcoli-
thic culture discovered there spread
during the 6th and 5th millennia BC
across the territory of present-day
Serbia, northeastern Bosnia, western
Romania, and western Bulgaria.
The Vinca culture is primarily known
for its ceramics and numerous anth-
ropomorphic clay idols, which were
likely used as cult images or votive of-
ferings in sacred areas and near altars.
