This paper,is the first in terms of the laws of symmetry that analyses Tripolian ornamental patterns of stages СI (pottery of the settlements of Popudnya, Shipintsy, and Kanev group) and CII (ware from the Vykvatintsy cemetery). It has been established that among the linear designs (borders) on the pottery of stage CI, mirror symmetry and symmetry of rotation are the predominating types. In the linear schemes of Vykhvatintsy, compositions with a verti- cal reflection of the motif predominate and the number of designs without a symmetry increases. In rosettes (composi- tions in a circle) from Popudnya, Shipintsy and Kanev group of stage СI, cyclic motifs with rotation around the central point are the most numerous. In Vykhvatintsy, there are only dihedral schemes with a rotation and mirror symmetry. The investigations have shown that the types of symmetry in the patterns of the Tripolye pottery were changing with the cardinal changes in the culture at the final stage of its development
