Abstract
The article provides a systematic overview of the questions on
the shape and symbolism of a three-part pot - bilikum, which
was used in Northwestern Croatia and Northeastern Slovenia
as a pot from which wine was drunk in honor of the guests who
were visiting a house for the first time. Even though any pot
suitable for wine drinking could be used, only three-part bilikum
was used only for that purpose. That fact gives bilikum
the character of a ritual pot, and logically raises questions on its
possible link with the similar Bronze and Iron Age pots. Besides
the symbolism of number three, which comes from its shape, the
mystery surrounding the pot is enhanced by the legend of three
brothers – Čeh, Leh and Meh, which is connected to it.
