Ornaments are plant, zoomorphic, geometric and epigraphic. Among the zoomorphic ornaments the image of ram horns is often found – a symbol of strength, courage, protection. The ilon izi pattern (snake’s trace) plays the role of an amulet. The image of fish symbolizes female fertility. Motley birds among plant patterns personify folk ideas about happiness.
