Stove tiles discovered at Rîşnov (Braşov County)

  • TITLU în română: Teracotă de sobă descoperită la Râşnov (judeţul Braşov)
  • Subiect: The present paper discusses the varied and numerous stove tile fragments (ca. 80 items) discovered during several archaeological investigations inside the fortified settlement of Râşnov. The items, dated from the end of the fifteenth century until the seventeen hundreds indicate the continuous habitation of houses inside the fortified precinct during this period. Since they probably carried the most available images, their possible functions are also discussed: through their choice of tile representations, the inhabitants of Râşnov might have displayed their wealth, allegiance, religious beliefs, or cultural taste. Analysing the analogies of this group of tiles one discovers that some were very popular in Transylvania at the time, while others are, to the present state of research, unparalleled.
