Initially, these accessories were made from baked to black wood, then from ceramics and Venetian glass. Now there are Morcic trinkets, and pendants, and brooches, and earrings – only the form remains unchanged. The material can also be different, from simple ceramics to precious metals and stones. A rather unusual and very interesting souvenir is also a copy of the Vucedol dove. This vessel was once used in traditional Croatian rites, and now it is sold to tourists as a symbol of the preservation of national customs.
