The fragment with the Ephebos is realised in a style similar to the Thanatos painter. Usually the figure of the young man is opposed to a woman, and the young man is usually holding a fillet. The hairstyle of the young man seems to point to the third quarter of the 5th century B.C. -

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.
