Abstract
This article considers the worldview, embodied in the decoration on Bronze Age pottery, created by the tribes of the Andronovo culture period (2nd millennium BC) in the territory of Kazakhstan. The Andronovo culture dates back to the Chalcolithic period when communities of the geometric pottery cultures lived here. Pottery was on the one hand utilitarian, and on the other sacral in use, combining elements of sculpture (the shape of a vessel) and painting (decorating an object). In the pro-cess of historical development, in accordance with the regularities of immanent formation and under the influence of external factors, several features of the decoration components emerged. The article contributes to the study of the problems, which remain relevant and require understanding. The opportunities for interpretation of pottery as a source and the use of different analysis methods allow for extracting new ethnological and art history information.
