Urny twarzowe. O zabytkach z ludzką twarzą sprzed 2500 lat - Piotr Fudziński | KONTEKST 45

Urns from 2,500 years ago, and on them, carved faces! Do they represent the likenesses of people who lived in Pomerania during the early Iron Age? What secrets do these artifacts hold? What do the symbols on the vessels mean? Where have most of them been found? Luckily for you, we know a great person who will be able to explain everything we currently know about face urns and answer your questions!
