Elementele decorative ale cănilor geto-dacice

Abstract

The author analyses the ornamentation of the jugs. They represent a very spread both hand-made and wheel-made type of vessel. The five variants of the one-handle, hand-made jugs have a rather scanty decoration, most of them being polished on their whole surface. The first two variants are decorated with conical prominences, dots or with zig-zag and little fir-shaped incisions on the shoulders and the rims of some jugs. The one-handle, wheel-made jugs appear in two variants (in the shape of bitruncated cones and with a rounded body). Their omamentations is richer and consists of very different decorative patterns: polished, incised and in relief patterns.
