agree  Ivan Klyunchev

agree  Mark Cole: Votive tablets are dedicated to a deity as thanks for answering a prayer, etc., and usually made of clay. If they are more like tombstones, I would go for Christo's translation
23 hrs

agree  Yavor Dimitrov: I'd go for 'votive tablets' too because 'a stele' is a tall, slender stone monument or, in some religions, a stone or wooden slab, generally taller than it is wide.

От археолога обратна връзка: votive stele, но ми се струва, че това е двойна застраховка в археологията. Stele си е точно оброчната плоча.

Съвсем точно:
votive stele е посветена на дадено божество (при поганците ;-), т.е. в религии с много божества)
stele - надгробната плоча или паметника!

neutral  Ivan Klyunchev: Стела не е оборочна плочка.

  -> Стелата е надгробна плоча (паметник) в античността, поставен/издигнат над гроба на някого. "Оброчен" означава, че е посветена на божество (вж. моята добавка). "Оброк" - отдаване почит на нкг/нщ. (

agree  Kalinka Hristova: votive stele. "Избрани скулптурни паметници", изд. на Археологически институт с музей при БАН. Между стр. 67 и 71 са поместени снимки на пет оброчни плочки от II-III в. Преводът в това двуезично издание (бг, ен) е тъкммо "votive stele".

  -> Така ми го и съобщиха археолозите сем. Кулови, които в момента са на експедиция в с. Ковачево - заедно с колеги от Франция. А на тях им имам 100% доверие! ;-)
