Intriguing Daunian kyathos featuring an incurving shallow bowl and a handle that widens towards the top to form stylized horns, a tiny animal head inserted in between.
The cream-hued surface shows a delicate linear decoration, both on the handle and on the outside of the bowl.
For a kyathos from the same workshop, cf. vase no 202 in: Electa Napoli. L'Art des Peoples Italiques. Geneva 1993.
