Alarge, quality, ancient Italic Daunian Olpe, of very large dimensions, dating to approximately 500 B.C.

This piece dates to the Daunian II period (approximately 550-400 B.C.) and is painted in so called \"subgeometric\" style.

Despite their great beauty, Daunian pottery has been little studied, relative to other ceramics from the region.
