The present article presents some objects of plastic art from the Eneolithic Gumelnita culture, which were discovered at the beginning of the 20th Century in a tell on the area of the Jilava comune, county Ilfov, the site being destroyed during quarrying for gravel. According to some soundings excavated by Dinu V. Rosetti in 1929-1931, at the site Magura Jilava the existence of a single settlement layer of phase B1 of the Gumelnita culture was documented. Due to the planned exploitation of gravel, before the soundings very many objects had been collected from the site. Many of these finds, discovered by chance, were bought by Dr. Constantin Istrati-Capsa for his personal exhibition, which was to form a basis for the second museum institution in Drobeta-Turnu-Severin founded in 1924, named Muzeul Dr. C. I. Istrati. The heritage from this museum was transferred to the Museum of the Iron Gates’ Region in the early 1950´s, where a large part of the former Istrati-Capsa collection is still preserved today. Among the materials of this collection there are nine anthropomorphic-zomorphic sculptures, of which six have never been published: the fragment of an anthropomorphic vessel, an anthropomorphic bone figurine, the clay reprezentation of an hedgehog and three vessel-lids with anthropomorphic handles. In addition there are two pots of daily use and a miniature house discovered by chance at the same Magura Jilava site and which complement the Gumelnita material in the collection of the Museum of the Iron Gates’ Region.

This study proposes a grouping of earrings decorated with curled wire, that were discovered on the actual territory of Romania, a typology and chronology of them. An overview of the issue for the countries from Central Europe and of south-east was presented at the beginning. There follows a repertoire of discoveries from Romania, organized on types of sites (necropolises, settlements and discoveries of unstated type). The type of discoveries has been analysed, as well as the manufacturing materials, execution techniques (for lock-rings, rods and decor). Type I is represented by pieces from Alba Iulia-Statia de salvare, Coconi-Caldarea, Craiova-Fântâna Obedeanu, Dridu-La Metereze, Nufarul-La Piatra, Pacuiul lui Soare and Portaresti-Cetatuie; Pl.1/1-5, 8, 14, 15-18. This had probably the widest spread, being encountered in Korbovo, Bizeljske, Pilin, etc. Typology of pieces from Romania Type Ia (Suceava, Trifesti; Pl.1/19, 21). The piece from Suceava was discovered probably in the same context with another earring decorated with a round setting from silver wire. Similar pieces were discovered in Wallachia in the necropolis from Vadul Anei, being dated throughout the XVIth century. Unfortunately the stratigraphic context and chronology are not very evident for this piece. The piece from the second locality dates from the XIIIth-XIVth centuries. Type Ib (Trifesti; Pl. 1/20). At the moment we do not dispose of definite analogies for this piece, but on the base of general dating of the necropolis it may be dated similarly with the previous piece that came from the same locality. Type II (Craiova-Fântâna Obedeanu; Pl. 1/6-7) has analogies in discoveries from Macedonia, from Prilep, Kocani or from Serbia, in Ribnica. In this last locality, a sheet pendant was additionally added in the lower part of the rod. Type III (Isaccea; Pl.1/10-11) consists, in fact, of the pendants of some earrings. Similar pendants were also discovered only in Niš and Kocani. Pieces from Mâlesti and Hudum-Dealul Hudumului, necropolis 2 cannot be framed within a certain type or variant, they not being whole pieces. In the same situation are pieces from Bornis, Cetateni-Muscel and Cetatea Neamtului, which were not published with illustration or depiction.
