Have you noticed that one of these giant pots is quite special? It contains a hitherto unseen ornament of ceramic decoration on one side—a human image impressed with cords! If you look closer you’ll see a great many details: the horizon and rain, which was so anticipated by those tending fields four thousand years ago. This is an example of the earliest thematic art. Comparing these objects to finds from other Stone Age cultures, archaeologists suggest that the appearance of a human figure and other ornaments on such pots expresses the daily hopes of prehistoric people related to the fertility of the earth and the grace of gods and spirits.
