Re: [tied] Ancient Slavic Calendar?

Yes, there are photos of it (actually two examples) in Rybakov's
_Yazychestvo Drevnyei Rusi_, p 166-7. The objects are ceramic vessels, the
"calendar" (patterns and symbols only) is incised along the pots' rims.
Rybakov's interpretative sketch includes old Slavic names along the inner
rim, with the corresponding Latin names on the outside. I will scan them
and, cyberdemons willing, post them as "Rybakov."
