EN Early Roman Period pottery of the Przeworsk culture included vessels covered with elaborate zonal decoration. They were particularly typical for sites from the eastern area of this culture. Undoubtedly, at least some of the ornamental motifs, featuring primarily on artefacts from sepulchral contexts, can be seen as a reflection of the spiritual culture of the investigated community. A unique ornamentation has been recorded on a cinerary urn discovered in the Przeworsk culture cemetery at Ostrów, Dist. Przemyśl, site 21. Some of the motifs featuring on the urn find no parallel among symbols known from the period. It cannot be ruled out that they are evidence of contact with Sarmatian tribes, which could have taken place in the upper Dniester basin. The discussed motifs were most likely a form of symbolic message, legible to the community in which they were created.
