- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, Italy, Apulia, Daunian, ca. 4th century BCE. A terracotta kyathos (dipper) with a wide, zoomorphic strap handle capped by twin horns, presenting a voluminous, piriform body with a flat, flared rim. Alternating narrow and wide black and red bands and abstract, geometric motifs called listati decorate the body. Perforations perhaps representing eyes are on the zoomorph's face, while a third perforation drilled between the horns suggests that the piece may have been suspended from a wall or in a tomb. In addition, the painted snout comprised of a juxtaposed pair of squares within concentric rectangular forms adds a bit of charm and personality to this piece! Size: 5.125" in diameter x 7.125" H (13 cm x 18.1 cm)
Daunian society was a mixture of native Italians and Greeks who had settled in the area, and the vessels reflected this blending of cultures. Here, for example, the piece is a Greek kyathos with a flat, long, looping handle, however, the wideness of the strap and the decorative listati are purely Daunian.
