The Cucteni – Trypillia culture (5th – 4th millennia BC) and its antiquities represent one of prehistoric Europe’s most spectacular archaeological cultures. Spread accross the territory of Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, it is characterized by settlements, often of considerable size, with a complex internal structure. The craftsmanship of the Cucuteni artisans is illustrated by ceramic vessels and other items made from various raw materials. The incised and painted decoration on the ceramic artefacts reproduces multiple aspects of the magical-religious beliefs practised by the ancient communities. Some of the items from the Cucuteni – Trypillia settlements of the territory of the Republic of Moldova are part of the national and world cultural treasures.
