Summary/Abstract: All the representations belonging to the Babadag culture are reviewed here – 71 pieces, of which 62 are associated with the so-called „magic kits”. The author considers that these representations cover a wide range of motifs – from the anthropomorphic ones, realized in several variants, to everyday symbols, vital to the human existence (bread, eating and drinking pottery), to zoomorphic figures, all these attesting the magic rituals and the fecundity cult practiced by the Babadag population.
