Works created from the simplest and most widely found substance on earth - clay, widely known as ceramics, have an important place in the history of human culture. Owing to its great plasticity it has been used from ancient times and in one or other form has been held in reverence or deified in different religions.
Ceramics art emerged at the end of the paleolith in the 8th - 7th BC and at the beginning of the neolith, at different times and places where clay resources were found. The book looks at the most typical and significant ceramics exhibits discovered and preserved in the Bulgarian lands.
