    Hunchback Statuette (?)

    Hunchback Statuette (?)

    Hand-modelled, the sculpture depicts a figure of indeterminate gender, characterised above all by the obvious deformation of its spine: its back forms a large hump, emphasised by the spine, which is slightly raised, and by the rendering of the ribs, painted dark brown. This deformity causes the figure’s torso to lean abnormally forwards and to the left.

    Iapygian Spherical Jug

    Iapygian Spherical Jug

    The shape and style allow this vessel – a known but relatively rare type – to be dated to the early phase of Daunian pottery development, characterised by high-quality pieces and predominantly geometric decoration: the presence of sculptural elements, such as the animal head on this jug, is well documented.

    Ex-Voto in the shape of a Female Head

    Ex-Voto in the shape of a Female Head

    This veiled female head is carved in very high relief on the plaque, whose edges are curved. The two vertical edges, visible in the lower plaque, indicate the borders of the veil. Such protomes were largely widespread in the Greek world, in Attic but also in Eastern Greece and in the Western colonies, between the 6th and the early 5th century B.C.

    Seated Statuette

    Near Eastern Seated Statuette

    The figure, whose gender is not clearly defined (the absence of breasts and the low-detailed shapes would rather suggest a male body), is seated on a cubic stool without any carved details. The torso of the figure is straight, the back is smooth and without details; the legs are simple rods in light relief. The arms of the figure are folded and the triangular hands are brought back to the chest.
