The turbulent process of establishment and growth of the new capital Preslav stimulated the development of many techniques in decorative art. It also brought about the appearance of a new technique in Europe - the technique of artistically painted ceramics. It was used for decorating shrines and luxury buildings. This Preslavian art was borrowed from the Near East and it spread immeasurably fast. This was due to two preconditions - the extreme necessity of effective architectural decoration and the availability of large quantities of raw material - white clay, which allows bright shades of color. The collection of white-clay painted ceramics of “Veliki Preslav ” Archeological Museum offers the opportunity not only to trace the model diversity of the articles, but to trace the process of its technological development too. The curious fact is that similar manufacture appeared in Konstantinopolus, too, but in the end of 10th c. and the beginning of 11thc. Experts invariably relate this fact to the time of conquering Preslav in 971 and consequently borrowing this kind of technology.
The impressive construction work in Preslav - the new capital, during the reign of Simeon was aimed at establishing a reliable security system. To agreater extent, efforts were made to turn the town into a center that would rival Konstantinopolus in grandeur and original architectural decisions. In the very beginning of 10th c., John Ekzarh was the writer who described the picture a traveler could see entering the Palace. It said: “…palaces and castles, touching the sky; churches - abundantly decorated with stone, wood and beautiful hues; the inside - all made of marble, copper, gold and silver”. During the ages, the metalwork was all plundered and the wood rotted away. However, many of the beautifully sculptured stone pieces survived, so as to justify the ancient writer’s words.
