Abstract
The article is devoted to a complex analysis of the vessel from the burial site of the Andronovo (Fedorovo) culture located near the village of Krasny Yar in the Sovetsky district of the Altai Territory. The vessel was found by the expedition of S.M. Sergeev in 1930 during the excavations of a child’s burial from barrow No 1, the materials of which are currently held in the State Hermitage funds. This vessel has traditional for the majority of Andronovo pot-shaped forms ways of shaping, surface treatment, firing of products, as well as the form and size of the ornamentation. However, in the form and in the stylistics there are not typical features - medium/low proportions of the brachium and body, asymmetry of the imprints of the ornament. The non-standard form and ornamental composition could be due to the fact that the potter at the time of molding the vessel had not yet formed stable ideas about the classic form and ornamentation of pot-shaped products, or the person who made the vessel, was a bearer of some other tradition different from the rest of the population. The main idea, which was invested in the ornamentation of this vessel - to help the child in the subsequent Renaissance, also with the help of astronomical knowledge.
