Terracotta askos (flask with a spout and handle over the top)
Native Italic, Daunian, Canosan
This distinctive ware was produced in the larger area of Canosa from roughly the mid-fourth through the mid-third century B.C. The ample, assertive shape is embellished with finely executed bands of ornament, often vegetal, as well as human and animal figures at the bottom. Motifs framed by pendant tendrils have parallels in Gnathian pottery.
