Daunia comprises the north of Apulia from Bari to the promontory of Gargano, but pottery of the Daunian type is found beyond these limits to the north and west. Canosa was the center of production and exported far afield. Daunian pottery was somewhat barbaric but highly original and maintained its identity long after the work of neighboring regions was Hellenized. This unique vessel type with its huge funnel mouth is variously described in references as an urn, an olla, or a krater.AG43827. Daunian funnel mouth urn; cf. CVA London, British Museum vii, Great Britain 10, pl. 462, 2 - 3, Collectible, funnel mouth reconstructed with a missing fragments, otherwise intact, 20cm (7 7/8") tall, rim diameter 21cm (8 1/4"), c. 480 - 318 B.C.; shaped by hand (no wheel), pinkish light brown clay, very large funnel mouth, globular body, two horizontal loop handles and two solid handles split at the top; painted black and brown geometrical motifs, primarily horizontal bands; ex Alex G. Malloy;
Judaean Kingdom, Hasmonean Dynasty (Maccabees), Miniature Archaic Style Oil Lamp, c. 167 - 37 B.C.
This tiny Hasmonean era lamp imitates a shape and high base of pinched-rim stepped base oil lamps used in the Kingdom of Judah during the Iron Age IIC, 720 - 586 B.C. During the Hasmonean era, archaic imitative lamps were popular in Jerusalem and the surrounding area. They reconnected the Jewish people to the golden age of the Davidic dynasty centuries before. This particular specimen is particularly small, less that half the size of most of the Hasmonean imitatives and would fit inside of the bowl of most similarly shaped Iron Age lamps.

Judaean Kingdom, Hasmonean Dynasty (Maccabees), Archaic Style Folded Buff Oil Lamp, c. 167 - 37 B.C.

Judaea, Hellenistic Pottery Unguentarium, c. 290 - 40 B.C.

Pottery unguentarium, cf.

Judaean Kingdom, Hasmonean Dynasty (Maccabees), Hellenistic Sunburst Style Local Lamp, c. 150 - 30 B.C.
The Hellenistic sunburst design was meant to suggests the lamp is a little sun and was popular around the Eastern Mediterranean. Most similar published specimens have a small side lug (handle). This simpler type without a side lug is reputedly found mostly or entirely within areas once ruled by the Hasmonean Kingdom (Maccabees). It was apparently a smaller production made for local use.AL93881. Judaean, Hasmonean, Sunburst Style Local Lamp; Kennedy Type 2, cf. Adler 44 (lug on right shoulder), Warschaw 18 (decoration on nozzle), Choice condition, complete and intact, 9.1 cm (3 5/8" long, 5.5 cm (2 1/8") wide, 3.4 cm (1 3/8") tall, c. 150 - 30 B.C.; mold-made, black slip on brown clay, round biconvex body, sunburst design on the shoulders around the fill hole, long tapering round tipped nozzle;
Judaean Kingdom, Hasmonean Dynasty (Maccabees), Hellenistic Style Local Lamp, c. 200 - 30 B.C.
