Item Details

Description

Magna Graecia, Italy, Daunian, ca. 3rd century BCE. A gorgeous pottery lebes gamikos decorated in typical Daunian style with a horizontal band of scrolling palmettes and ivy leaves adorning the shoulder. 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 striking geometric and linear patterns in earthen tones, just as we see in this intriguing example. Size: 8.6" Diameter x 8.3" H (21.8 cm x 21.1 cm)

Daunian society was a mixture of native Italian and Greek peoples who had settled in a region of Italy. The shapes of the vessels remained strongly influenced by the Italians - this one, for example, is a form of the Greek krater (a vessel for mixing wine and water) with a decorative motif that is purely Daunian in color and style.

Provenance: private New York, New York, USA collection; ex-Gorny & Mosch, Munich, Germany; ex-private A. and W.H. collection, Southern Germany, acquired in the early 1970s - early 1980s
