    Pyxis with Bird-Shaped Lid

    Pyxis with Bird-Shaped Lid

    The body, which has a flat, circular base but does not ensure the vessel is well balanced, is hemispherical in shape: it has been carved with great precision. The lid, with its domed profile, depicts the body of a bird in a simple, stylised manner: it features a central, triangular knob and a small side handle, which correspond respectively to the bird’s head and tail.

    Neolithic Polished Axehead

    Neolithic Polished Axehead

    The axe was carved from a long, slender flake of stone, of a uniform, almost black colour. Its shape resembles that of a teardrop, with one end being thinner and almost pointed, whilst the other (which forms the cutting edge) has a distinctly arched profile, but appears never to have been sharpened.

    Statuette of two seated young bulls

    Statuette of two seated young bulls

    This small, beautiful object is composed of two elements: a parallelepiped that serves as a base for two statuettes of young bulls, whose bodies are merged together and placed head to toe. The animals are seated on the floor, their legs folded under their bodies. In spite of the stylization of the figurines, partly related to their miniature size, the artist skillfully rendered the proportions, the position and anatomy of the bulls. The delicate expression of their muzzle and their somewhat thick appearance certainly tend to imitate the naivety and clumsiness of a young animal.

    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.
