Vučedol Culture
A tureen is a cult vessel that in its bi-conic cross-section has the representations of nine suns, and above them there are four fields that, according to the new explanations, are defined as Orion's constellation.
The same could be said for the fragment of the dish with the graphic image of the human figure. Orion is the most dominant constellation of the winter sky. Its disappearance marks the end of winter. In Egyptian mythology Osiris, the god of the dead, is often equated with Orion.
