At Poiana Ciresului - Piatra Neamt (county Neamt) Romania have discovered several stone pendants in Gravettian (age 20.000 B.P.). The pendant from Poiana Cireșului was decorated with schematic and abstract themes. Most part of the pendant circumference is marked by parallel incisions.
I am interested in any analogies.
There is a stone pendant, without marks, in the Gravettian levels from the open-air site of Irikaitz (Basque Country), excavated by Álvaro Arrizabalaga.
In the Gravettian levels III and IV from the old excavations in Isturitz cave by Saint-P´çerirer, there are also several Stone pendants, these ones with several marks,
Cher collègue,
Merci beaucoup pour votre gentillesse, disponibilité et pour vos informations. J’ai vu la découverte d’Irikaitz, s’il n’y a pas publié encore dans une revue scientifique. Je n’ai pas trouvé une revue scientifique de cette découverte. Connaissez-vous une publication pour le pendant d’Irikaitz. Bien sur je connu les découvertes très importantes d’Isturitz.
Cher collègue, vous assure de tout mon appreciation.
Prof. Cârciumaru
Stone pendants were well known during the Iberomaurusian (a Late Upper Paleolithic culture in the northwestern Africa). I hope you find the link of interest.
The nearest analogies you could find at Trencianske Bohuslavice (western Slovakia) - unfortunately almost without engravings (see attachments)
Dear Marin,
there are 4 perfarated pendants from Dolní Věstonice I (Czech republic) that were found in 1930 by Karel Absolon. Unfortunatelly there are no incision. nevertheless such decoration is common in Moravian Gravettian. These pendants are older - more than 25 kyr BP. Moravian Gravettian dated to period ca 20 000 BP doesn't contain such items according my knowledge.

Dear colleague Neruda,
Thanks for the info pendants. You made a bibliographical source? Eventually their images.
Les pendentifs en pierre à décors géométriques sont connus de certains sites pavloviens de Moravie. De Dolni Vestonice I comme l'a dit P. Neruda mais surtout de Pavlov II, de Pavlov I et plus récemment de Pavlov VI. Pour les références: Klima (Die palaeolithische Station Pavlov II) ou M. Laznickova-Galetova 2013 (Pavlov VI).

Merci beaucoup pour informations ! C'est domage je n'ai pas livre de Klima.
Chère Michaela Polanska
J'ai seulement les monographies : B. Klima et all., 1994, Pavlov I (Excavations 1952-1953), ERAUL 66; J. Svoboda, 1991, Dolni Vestonice II Western Slope, ERAUL, 54; B. Klima, 1995, Dolni Vestonice II, ERAUL 73.
Greetings,
This is not directly related to the topic of your question. However, I advise you to read this article on symbolic use of marine shells. This can be a way of trying to understand the symbolism associated with Decorative pre-hominid practice:
