Summary/Abstract: Our presentation starts from three pieces of Zorlenţu Mare site, related with discoveries made by Marius Moga, Octavian Răuţ and Gh. Lazarovici,rendering clothing items and adornments. Idols mainly render women,representing the female divinity, Great Mother or its priestess. Some of examples presented here, especially pots with thrones; idols with bracelets represent parts of sanctuary inventory or cultic inventory of priestess. Their insignia represents a certain social and religious hierarchy. Being involved cultic inventory we can deduce that is involved a Neolithic “liturgy”, even the term seems to be pretentious; but this represent repetition of inventory or association of idols, idols with thrones, sacred numerology, 7, 13, 21, 28, 41, etc. The best examples are illustrated by several conclaves of Poduri, Isaiia, Drăguşeni, Ovčarovo, Greece and others.
