Clay here and there

132. POT
This big clay decorative pot was made with lots of work, its decoration arose from the
kneading of several fashions of that time.

223. YARN WINDER
They used this clay object to screw finished yarn and thread.

224. YARN WINDING DEVICE
This clay object is connected to textile making.

226. AND 228. POT
They cooked and stored food in these weaker clay pots on the weekdays.

230. DRINKING VESSEL
They used this cup on feasts, they didn”t just drink out of it but they measured the drink
for example the wine from the shaker.

233. MUG
They used this richly decorated ceramic in the high settlements by the leader of the era.

172. LID
The material of this Celtic clay lid consists of tiny lime granules, early Iron Age ceramics
were also made out of this material, so it shows the clay was sourced locally.

236. SPINDLE WHORL
The spindle whorl was made out of a broken celtic pot, they pierced it through so they
could put it on a wand and so yarn can be spiked with it.

238. CROP STORING DISH
They stored the crop in this big dish, whose narrowing neck kept pests away.

240. LID
This lid was decorated richly, and its curiosity is that just like the other lids in the era, this
one followed the era”s form of noble hats too.

243. AND 244. SPINDLE BUTTONS
These are pierced plummets, with which the straight spindle stick rotated more easily,
and this rotation helped the yarn making.

245. VESSEL ORNAMENT IN THE SHAPE OF ANIMAL HEADS
The bull in that era represented strength and power, and they could show respect to the
dead by displaying the bull, the bulls head may have decorated the bigger clay dish’s
shoulder and it must have broken from there.
