Daunian Pottery Collection
6th-4th century B.C.Sold for (Inc. bp): £78
Comprising various vessel fragments including a partial handle, most with linear decoration, some with old pencil inscriptions. 122 grams total, 29-61 mm
From a deceased estate, UK. Acquired on the UK art market. This lot is accompanied by an illustrated lot declaration signed by the Head of the Antiquities Department, Dr Raffaele D'Amato.
The fragments of Daunian ceramics presented here seem to belong both to the first vascular group of this type of ceramic, the most numerous, that of Herdonia, either to that of Canosa, which forms the second vascular group of Daunian ceramics. In the first group the two-tone decoration is limited to thin elements in red, interspersed with the rest of the decoration in a blackish-brown colour, consisting of minute and dense geometric motifs. The Canosa vases are instead generally monochrome, not lacking the sober use of red lines, having as a central motif a pendulous quadrangular panel, with three free sides of the decorative frame. -
