The faint and fragmentary traces of incised geometric patterns on a 3000 year old pottery from the Iron Age - found in the local area in the late 19th century - lead us to archaic ornamentation. Triangles, parallel lines and zigzag patterns take us on journey through time and space, to celtic populations and migrations, to the areas of their sources in the Middle East, to contemporary public ground.
