c.5700-4200 B.C. An extremely rare Early Neolithic "Vinca Culture" Painted solid pottery pendant unearthed on a known Vinca habitation site close to the River Danube, Belgrade in the early 20th Century (former Yugoslavia, now Serbia) and hailing 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 solid clay pendant is of typically stylised Vinca anthropomormphic form, pierced through its length for affixing to a length of sinew or cordage for wearing or suspension, the rear of pendant in plain baked clay but the front face features a stylistic, standing stick-like figure with both arms raised above head (God / Goddess?) painted on in a dark natural pigment, obviously intended as a sacred talisman. A couple of very minor knocks to lower edge (not detarcting in anyway) from its many millennia buried in the earth, otherwise totally intact and in very nice overall condition for a piece of Neolithic pottery, with good sound surfaces, an exterely rare and seldom offered Prehistoric item, 40mm high x 28mm wide x 16mm deep
