Beige clay ceramic dipper, hand-modeled, dating back to the Subgeometric Daunian III period (550-400 BCE), classified as form XIII, type 12 according to E.M. de Juliis. It features a deep, tapered basin with a flat bottom and a short, distinct, and inclined lip. The vertical ribbon handle, tall and angular in shape, gives the object a slender and functional appearance. The decorations consist of brown bands of varying width, painted horizontally under the rim and vertically on the handle and its vicinity, against the light hazelnut-colored slip background.
With a basin height of 6 cm (11.5 cm with the handle) and a diameter of 12.3 cm, the object has reached us in good condition, testifying to the refined Daunian ceramic production. 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.
