全部拍賣 / Asian Art / Daunian Polychrome Kyathos w/ Star Motif


Magna Graecia, Southern Italy, Apulia, Daunian. A broad, shallow cup lifted by a single high strap handle that arcs above the rim, the classic silhouette of the Daunian kyathos. The buff-slipped earthenware body carries painted decoration in orange-red and brown-black: a wide band of color encircling the interior wall, matching stripes laddering the handle, and at the center a four-pointed star whose concave arms are split between the two pigments. The geometric vocabulary is characteristic of the Subgeometric painters of northern Apulia, who resisted the figural Hellenizing fashion of their Greek neighbors and kept to compass-drawn stars, meanders, and hatched bands for centuries. Vessels of this shape served for dipping and pouring wine or other liquids at table, and examples recur in Daunian tomb groups, where drinking equipment accompanied the dead. Daunia occupied the northern third of ancient Apulia, the plain and foothills around Monte Gargano, Canosa, and Ordona. Its potters produced one of the longest-lived painted traditions in Italy, running from roughly the 7th century BCE to the Roman conquest, and one of the most conservative: while Peucetian and Messapian workshops to the south absorbed Greek red-figure conventions from Taras, Daunian painters stayed loyal to an abstract repertoire of stars, chevrons, lozenges, and dense hatching applied in matte iron-oxide reds and manganese browns over a pale slip. The four-pointed star with concave arms is among their signature motifs, appearing on funnel-mouthed askoi and tall-handled cups alike. Chronologies for the ware rest largely on De Juliis's seriation of the Subgeometric phases. Item # 204994
