During the early Iron Age, the Pomeranian culture in Poland developed distinctive clay vessels for cremated remains, influenced by southern European cultures such as the Etruscans.

These urns are characterized by human faces and hat-shaped lids, and are frequently adorned with symbolic engravings of celestial bodies, trees, and waves. Depictions of clothing and adornment are also present, figurative scenes of people and animals are rare. 6th/5th c. BC.
