Summary

| Description |
Српски / srpski: Najstarija grupa skulptura, za koju se pretpostavlja da je u istom stilu izrađivana pre više od dve stotine godina, poznata je pod imenom Telem. Odlikuje se izuzetno dinamičnom pozom sa podignutim rukama, što ima značenje molbe za kišu, odnosno za plodnost. Ponekad je u klečećem položaju, i najčešće predstavlja ženu. Figure Telem su čuvane u ambarima, gde su im prinošene žrtve, ali nalaze se i u grobovima - pećinama. Antropomorfne predstave sa podignutim rukama mogu se naći na mnogim predmetima, a naročito na vratima ambara.
English: The oldest group of sculptures, known as the Telem, was supposedly crafted more than two hundred years ago in the same style as today. The Telem are distinguished by their exceptionally dynamic pose with arms raised upwards indicating a supplication for rain, or fertility. They are sometimes shown in a kneeling pose, mose often representing a woman. The Telem figures were kept in granaries, where sacrifices were offered to them; however, some have also been discovered in burial chambers - caves. Representations of anthropomorphic figures with elevated arms can be found on many objects, especially granary doors. |
