This vessel on a cross-shaped pedestal is a typical product of the first half and middle of the 3rd millennium BC in the wider area of the Vučedol culture, from the central Danube Basin to the caves in Trieste Karst (Fig. 206). The cross of the pedestal on this vessel from Dežman pile-dwelling sites is repeated in its interior: the hemispherical hollow at the bottom, called omphalos, symbolises the sun orb radiating four lozenges in a cross-shaped pattern.
