The Povlen ball is a spherical rock in the Povlen mountain, near Valjevo, on which the indented signs are found. Archeological team of Petnica Research Center suggested the possible meaning of these signs. They claimed that these marks are signs of "Sepherd insciptions". We noticed two groups of signs: ones like dimples and the others like figures. Working hypothesis is that five gathered dimples could represent constellation of Cepheus, partially fulfill our expectations. Besides, there is the possibility that one figure represents constellation of Cygnus (Cross). Both of these constellations are used for orientation on the sky, and similar archeoastronomical objects were funded in Bulgaria.
