c.5700-4200 B.C. A rare Early Neolithic "Vinca Culture" votive hand crafted pottery bowl unearthed on a known Vinca habitation site close to the River Danube, Belgrade in the early 20th Century (former Yugoslavia and now Serbia) and hails from a old 1920's collection.[The Vinca Culture were an advanced Early Neolithic race largely inhabiting the Balkans, Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia and Greece and were renown for producing pottery anthropormorhic votive statuettes and figures presumably for placement in a temple or place of worship]. This appealing little red-ware clay bowl would likely have been a small votive piece as well, possibly deposited in a sacred place with fragments of food contained within as an offering to the Gods. A few very minor knocks and a little surface dirt from its many millennia buried in the earth, otherwise intact and in very nice overall condition for a piece of Neolithic pottery, with good sound surfaces, a rare and seldom offered Prehistoric item, 32mm diameter x 24mm high
