a couple of views from Sv. Križ hill (St Cross hill), Rijeka. I hiked there frequently because I lived nearby. I love how full of trees RIjeka is... each of those socialist skyscrapers is surrounded by trees. And many hiking trails are so nearby and easily accessible.

Seated Figurine, Late Neolithic, (4500-4000 BCE), Vinča-Belo Brdo tell, Serbia

Figurines of human form are often found on Late Neolithic vilage sites in Southeast Europe but their purpose is unknown.

This fired clay figurine is of a person seated on a chair with its hands on hips. The face is highly stylised and might be someone wearing a mask. The figure has been decorated with incised lines that seem to indicate it is wearing a garment and armlets. The holes at the head and arms were perhaps for holding earrings or other ornaments that no longer survive. Some traces of red pigment are preserved on the body.

The figurine has been assumed to be female because of parallels with other figures but this is uncertain.

Fantje, danes sta me latinščina in grščina tako grdo poskemali!

Se zatipkam v govoru (rečem brod namesto brdo) pa hočem reči, da imam disleksijo, samo da za govor.

Moji grški možgani takoj: disleksija je grška beseda (ni). Torej iz λέγω - berem (λέγω pomeni govorim).

Kako se torej reče govorim?

In se sprašujem kako se reče govoriti v grščini, dokler se ne spomnim. Ne! Pišem je γράφω! Torej... Torej je λέγω že govorim? Ampak... Torej je latinska beseda?

Kako se pa potem reče govorim po latinsko? (In tega se spomnim v nekaj sekundah 😎) Dico! Torej imam disdikcijo! Disdiktcijo?

In ne znam črkovati *dikcija* ampak eh

„Posjetio sam tokom svog života više od dvije stotine gradova diljem cijeloga svijeta. Išao sam i na istok i na zapad. Vidio sam maglovite zgrade i nebodere, parkove obrasle zelenilom, prostrane vrtove, rijeke koje teku, mora po kojima se valovi kovitlaju, ali Allah zna da moje srce još uvijek luta po mjestima po kojima se kretao Poslanik, sallallahu alejhi ve sellem, i po njegovom zavičaju i da čezne za njegovim tragovima i vijestima o njemu, i da tavafi oko Kuće oko koje je on tavafio, da zastaje kod Mekami-Ibrahima kod kojeg je on zastajao, da se zadržava kod Hatima i Zemzema, da voli brdo Uhud za koje je on izjavio da ga voli, da posjećuje Bekiul-garkad koji je on posjećivao, da ga selami kod njegovog kabura - za koga žrtvujem i oca i majku! - da čezne za njegovom Revdom i minberom... Moje srce luta između dva Poslanikova, sallallahu alejhi ve selleme, grada: Mekke i Medine...“

LAZAREVIC SISTERS I

Princess Mara Lazarevic

Early Life

Though her date of birth is unknown, she is regarded as the eldest child of Lazar by his beloved wife Milica. The harmonious couple married in 1353, Mara was certainly born around the first years of their marriage, perhaps the following year or in the mid-1350s. 

Not much is known about her early childhood, but she was certainly born in Prilepac or Novi Brdo. She most likely received the same education as her younger sisters, though she might have not received the same privileges and comfort as them.

As her father’s power and prestige grew immensely following the battle of Maritsa in 1371, he moved his capital to a new area and named it Krusevac, that same year Mara was married off, so she did not grow up in the Krusevac Fortress, or even received her education or entertainments there. 

Marriage to Vuk Brankovic 

In 1371, Mara married Lord Vuk Branković through a political alliance between the Lazarevics and the Brankovićs. The marriage was beneficial to Vuk and Lazar as it offered them both advantages to the other’s resources. 

Nothing is known about the private relationship Mara shared with Vuk, though it must have been built on mutual understanding on equal grounds. The couple had three sons together. It is noted that by 1375, Mara had welcomed her second son Durad Branković which places Grgur Branković as the eldest son and Lazar Branković as the youngest of the trio. 

In 1389, following the bloody Battle of Kosovo, Milica became regent for her 13 years old son; Prince Stefan, and Vuk Branković not only refused to ally himself with his mother-in-law’s politics -which were in favor of the Turks- but also rebelled against them. 

While sealing documents, Vuk often signed his title as “Lord of Serbs and Podunavlje” when he was only recognized as “Lord Vuk,” though it seems that only he and his entourage referred to him as such. The ownership of the title “Lord of Serbs and Podunavlje” was only reserved for Prince Lazar and his successor; Prince Stefan Lazarevic. There are no documents that give any statement of the Lazarevics reaction to Vuk’s action to go by a title reserved for them only, but it must have added distance and contributed to future hatred between the two houses. 

It appears that Mara stood by her husband’s ideals throughout these familial vendettas. 

As Rebels

From 1389-1392 the Brankovićs resisted Ottoman rule the most compared to other Serbian dynasties, but they, unfortunately, were forced into vassalage upon the capture of Skopje. Nonetheless, Vuk refused to act as a vassal and only remained one by name. He continued his diplomatic relations with Hungary and denied any call to battle alongside the Ottomans.

As a result of these actions, Vuk was captured in 1396 following the aftermath of the Battle of Nicopolis. He passed away the following year in 1397 and in 1398 the majority of his lands were seized and given to Stefan Lazarevic through the influence of his sister-in-law; Olivera Lazarevic. 

Only two towns remained under Brankovićs rule, but the conditions meant they had to remain in a vassalage to the Turks. 

If the respective dynasties had disagreed before, then this caused the Brankovićs to build up hatred against the Lazarevics. Mara must have felt not only abandoned by her family but also revengeful. 

Widowhood 

After her husband’s unfortunate death, Mara permanently settled in Dubrovnik and started to withdraw money and hidden valuables. 

In 1402, after the Battle of Ankara, Mara’s eldest son Grgur was captured on the battlefield and stayed in captivity for a short while. 

In September of that year, a battle broke out near the Kosovo field between Stefan and his nephew; Durad. A battle which Stefan had won. This conflict not only created a huge gap between Mara and Stefan but also extremely worried the merchants of Dubrovnik; who only wished to trade in peace. 

This war and the absence of her eldest son must have left her in great distress as in December of that same year, the people of Dubrovnik tried their best to reassure her by expressing their blessings, and that they pray to God that Grgur come to her soon. 

As a result of this tension, Stefan was blamed by the Brankovićs, especially by Durad who blamed him not only for the loss of their lands but also the death of their father. Mara is noted to have supported her sons against their uncle. 

Ottoman Interregnum

During the Ottoman Interregnum Mara lost two of her sons; Grgur who became a monk died under the monastery name of Maxim in 1408. Her youngest son; Lazar, was executed by Musa on July 11 or 12 of 1410 after failing to convince Durad to return his loyalty to Musa. He was killed not only a full week after the execution of his youngest uncle; Vuk Lazarevic. 

Mara, who only had one son left was probably worried about her sole child and his future. For this reason, in 1412, she reached out to her youngest sister; Olivera, for help to reconcile with Stefan. 

Though it is stated in Miodrag Purkovic's book “КЋЕРИ КНЕЗА ЛАЗАРА ИСТОРИЈСКА СТУДИЈА ПОГОВОР” that it was Milica who acted as a mediator for their reconciliation, she was far dead by then so it could only be Olivera. 

Durad, who must have been fearing for himself by then sided with his uncle, and was warmly welcomed back into the family. Stefan trusted him enough to send him as a commander against Musa. Around 1412 or 1413, Durad and Musa battled, Durad won and Musa was later captured to be executed by his half-brother; Mehmed. 

Later Life

From 1417 to 1423, Mara is mentioned in a few Dubrovnik documents about familial valuables and repayment for damages. Soon after 1423 she became a nun and took the name ‘Marima.’ After this date, not much is recorded about her or her life as a nun. 

In 1425 or 1426, the childless Stefan Lazarevic proclaim his nephew; Durad, as heir. 

Mara passed away in 1426, never to see her sole child become the Despot of Serbia, and regain the lands they had previously lost. There is not a single information about her cause of death, though it might been due to old age or a disease related to her age.

Daj šapu

Umjesto cvijeta dobit ćeš paradajz,

neću ti držat vrata kad ulaziš

dobićeš lopovski da udjes kroz prozor

dat ću kompliment djevojci u prolazu

čestitat ću ti drugarici rodjendan

napravit ću uši na stranicama tvoje omiljene knjige

zamijenit ću šoljicu s tvojom kad god nam napraviš kafu

naoštrit ću ti svaki nož u kući osim jednog,

taj jedan ću ti donosit kad hoćeš rezat hljeb

svaku teglu u kući ću zavrnuti prejako

potrošit ću ti svu toplu vodu u bojleru

slušat ćemo šta se meni sluša

gledat ćemo šta se meni gleda

kad se središ i obučeš haljinu,

ja ću trenerku i najofirniji šuškavac

kad se svadjaš sa mamom,

ja ću stat na njenu stranu

kad se svadjas sa ocem,

ja ću stat na njegovu stranu

probudit ću te u pola noći jer ne mogu da zaspim,

ostavit te budnu i okrenut se da spavam

neću se smijat kad budeš prepričavala anegdotu

neću se smijat kad budeš pričala vic

smijat ću ti se kad te upršće auto vodom

smijat ću ti se kad ništa nije smiješno

za nokte me ni ne pitaj, odsjeci ih peksinušo

svako ko te nervira biće mi dobar drug

svako koga voliš će mene voljeti više

ako ti uradiš šest, ja ću uraditi sedam

ako zaplačeš, polizat ću ti suze

slat ću ti nepovezane slike i datume,

nepovezane rečenice i lokacije,

spominjat xy ljude, vadit ih iz naftalina

da razbijaš glavu i tražiš poveznicu

gurat ćeš kamen uz brdo

i voljet ćeš to

navučeš se na to

i kad nestanem

maštat ćeš o Sizifovom poslu

Thinker of Cernavoda (c.5,000 BCE)

Characteristics and History

The Thinker of Cernavoda depicts a human figure (traditionally interpreted as male) sitting on a stool, with his head in his hands and his elbows on his knees. Although seen as male, the figure's gender is not completely unambiguous - an attribute common to many ancient figurines from southeast Europe. His small angular head sits on top of a thick extended neck, while the eyes, which are too large for the face, are rendered as concave rather than the more usual convex-shape typical of Romanian carvings. His broad-hipped trunk has thick thighs and calves.

Coloured a dark brownish-red, the sculpture is 4.5 inches tall and is made out of terracotta, an unglazed, clay-based ceramic. It was created during the Hamangia culture (named after the site of Baia-Hamangia), a Late Neolithic archeological culture (5250-4500 BCE) which took root in Dobruja (Romania and Bulgaria) between the River Danube and the Black Sea. It is worth noting that the body as a whole is entirely devoid of the ornamentation or engraved decoration which is frequently seen in plastic art and pottery of both the Hamangia culture and the subsequent Cucuteni culture (4500-3000 BCE). It is also quite different from the bolder zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figurines, animal-head jewellery, and other cult objects of the nearby Vinca culture (5500–4500 BCE; named after the type site, Vinca-Belo Brdo), which was centred on Serbia, but extended into Romania and Bulgaria. (See also: Primitive Art.)

The Sitting Woman of Cernavoda, too, is quite plain and undecorated, unlike the usually extremely stylized, faceless female figurines complete with exaggerated breasts and buttocks.

Unfortunately, nothing is known about the sculptor who created the Thinker of Cernavoda, his workshop or school, or whether his style was copied by his contemporaries.

 Rituals could include rituals with masks and various vessels. A woman (eventually a man) who had been performing a ritual ceremony was another being. Ritual practices apparently related to the role of shamans (...) illustrate totally unique findings of masks in the late Neolithic (and Eneolithic). The unmistakable mask had the female statuette „Vidovdanka” from the settlement Vinča - Belo Brdo (Serbia). On the face are to see mainly eyes and nose. The mask is clearly visible from the profile.

There is also a head of the figure with a mask or another head of a statuette with a mask. There is a hole on each side. These holes were used apparently to fasten.

Very famous is the female statue again Vinča culture from the settlement Liubcova on the left bank of the Danube (Banat, Judeţul Caraş-Severin, Romania).

The statuette holds a mask in the left hand and a jug in the right hand. The head of this statuette is broken.

The half of the ceramic mask of the Vinča culture in the size of face comes from a tell-settlement enclosed with two ditches in Uivar in western Romania.
