Abstract
Anthropomorphic plastic art at the end of the Bronze Age and
in the beginning of the Iron Age is still little known. In this paper is
brought to attention a statuette placed at the bottom of a cult pit from
Teleac, belonging to the Gáva II (Hallstatt B) phase. The artifact has an
elongated shape, oval in kerf, with two, bifurcated heads. Similar statues have
been found in Gáva cultural area, especially in Şimleul Silvaniei surroundings.
Identical artifacts to that of Teleac are also known in Gornea-Kalakača and Basarabi
features. If some authors consider them „reel”, we appreciate these as
anthropomorphic statuettes, showing the legs and hands schematically, with a
history in some cultures of the Bronze Age (Tei, Wietenberg, Noua. Similarities
are also found in the plastic of Babadag culture. The artifacts presented in
this paper expresses the last type of anthropomorphic representation of the
Carpathian populations before the arrival of a new style – the steppe art.
