Southern Italy, Ca. 5th-4th Century. Incredible Piece! This jar has a handle similar to the owl motif on the wildly popular Daunian Dippers. The handle features two holes (eyes), a rectangular filled with diamond shapes, and a column. The body of the jug is painted in a bi-chrome pattern, alternating between the natural tan of the body and painted brown lines. The same rectangular pattern filled with diamonds found on the handle is repeated in the middle of the body. The flat rim of the jug features concentric brown lines. 8 1/4"H x 7 1/4"W. Intact/excellent with some minor surface wear and includes original museum tag.

Provenance: Ex-Bryon Farwell Collection. Part of a 209 piece collection of ancient pottery featured in the book, "The Farwell Collection" published in 1953 by Franklin P. Johnson, University of Chicago art historian and archaeologist. Byron Farwell was a young Army captain stationed in Italy during WW II, and pieces presented in this book were personally excavated by him in 1944/45 in Ordonia, Italy.
