Although the Daunian potters borrowed certain Greek decorative motifs and shapes, they never abandoned their traditional local style which Daunian taste seemed to demand. They took special delight in human, animal, and bird forms: vases with zoomorphic bodies, handles and appendages in the shapes.of hands, ears, and faces. These vases often appear bizarre to the modern eye, especially when compared to the restrained elegance of their Athenian counterparts, but their exuberance and charm is undeniable Despite the popularity of Greek and later South-Italian Greek figural pottery, Daunian pottery continued its localized production to the end of the 4th century B.C. Daunian ware is more rustic compared to black-glazed and red-figure ware, and is characterized by rounded forms with geometric and linear patterns in earthen tones. | |||||||
