PROTO-THRACIAN PORTRAIT (pre-historic ceramics from ІV - ІІІ c. B.C., culture “Maritsa” – permanent exposition in the cultural centre TrakArt). Prehistoric tableware with their geometric ornamental decoration show rich spiritual traditions and unique technical skills of the first settlers on the territory of our city.

The polychromy on the ritual vessels is achieved through applying graphite in some areas and following polishing. White paste is inserted in the contours of the engraved decoration and the drawings on the red clay on the inside are the same white colour.
