Sažetak
„To every movement of the spirit towards the ideal aim, to every sociality of a spiritual elite, to every attempt of reconciliation between the exacta and liberal mind, to every attempt of pacification between the sciences and arts or science and religion, in the basis is the same, eternal idea which took it's form in The Glass Bead Game“. Understanding the actuality and primordially of this Game by Hermann Hesse in the intellectual sense and creativity, connection and reciprocity, we can believe how ancient it is and how in the ancient times it enabled on short and long distances the surmounting of spatial and cultural distances, how it connected socially and ideologically different words, how it brought closer together new counterpoints and compositions of different creativities. This is The Glass Bead Game which is our primal interest! We can find its beginnings in the Bronze Age, when the control of raw material became important, when the provisioning and circulation conditioned the creation of so called global connections. Consequently it was in the frameworks of this concept that the so called “exotic” finds were interpreted – especially the “desired” glass beads. It was in this period and in the first “wave” of common features that we find the glass beads on the territory of the Eastern part of Caput Adriae and its hinterland. There the Game was “Played” mostly with simple blue of green small pearls which were added to the jewelry or attire of socially significant individuals of those places. But it seems also that a special Game, not accessible to all members, was “played” with pearls of special morphological, compositional and coloristic features which were discovered only on special and infrequent locations on this territory. Analyzed contextually, typologically, analogically and chronologically they could be linked directly to the trade complex of the so called Fratessina phenomenon, repeating the known pattern of circulation of goods on the Caput Adriae territory, linking itself also further in to the trend of activities of the wide cultural koinè ranging from the Alps to the Levant.
