Abstract

Although, usually, deities of Cucutenian pantheon are shown in the sacred ritual nudity sometimes, Cucutenian artisans did not resist the temptation to embellish the divinity with clothing items, hair styles or jewelry well known to them, with various degrees of stylization. It was considered that Cucutenian statuettes were embellished by Cucutenian artists with the most precious jewelry known or created by them. The paper aims at achieving an analysis of the neck ornaments present on the Cucutenian anthropomorphic art. Th is important source of documentation, corroborated with the information provided by the analysis of the items themselves, allows us to visualize the types of neck ornaments known by the Cucutenian communities.
