Beige clay ceramic cup, hand-modeled, dating back to the Subgeometric Daunian III period (400-300 BCE), classified as form XIX, type 15 according to N.E. de Juliis. Its body features a low, wide, slightly carinated basin with a taut profile. The narrow ring foot ensures stability, while the projecting lip adds elegance. The ogival-section handles, obliquely set just below the lip, are a distinctive element of its craftsmanship. With a height of 5 cm and a diameter of 15 cm, this object has survived the centuries in good condition. Its decoration consists of concentric black bands painted on the interior surface, an external zigzag line just below the lip, and vertical lines on the handles. The interior is coated with a hazelnut-colored slip, a typical element of Daunian ceramics.
On this webpage, a series of slides illustrate the step-by-step process of the 3D modeling of this historical artifact. The images show how the final 3D model, enriched with photographic data, was obtained by modeling point clouds with extreme precision in millimeter measurements. The virtual model has been prepared for 3D printing, allowing for the creation of a tactile replica of the artifact.
