- Lot Description
Magna Graecia, South Italic Colonies, Apulia, Daunian culture, ca. 300 BCE. A lovely wheel-thrown pottery askos (used for storing and pouring small quantities of valuable liquids) of a round-bottomed form. The globular body tapers upward to a rounded shoulder and a vertical ring handle, with a wide, flared rim radiating from a cylindrical neck. Rings of black and red pigment surround the upper body and neck, with four pairs of concentric circle "eyes" positioned equidistantly around the lower body, and a four-pointed star painted atop the rim. Size: 6.25" W x 6.2" H (15.9 cm x 15.7 cm).
As early as the 6th century BCE, Daunia was an extremely wealthy region as is evidenced by the rich grave goods from the urban centers of Canosa, Arpi, and Salapia, among others. Daunian pottery, while somewhat more rustic compared to black-glazed and red-figure South Italic Greek pottery, is characterized by voluminous, rounded forms with geometric and linear patterns in earthen tones as we see in this intriguing example.
