Summary

| Description |
English: This type of terracotta vases from Canosa, in Italian Apulia, was given as a grave goods to the deceased. The vase is highly ornamented with, amongst others, figures from Greek mythology: a medusa head to ward off evil and centaurs to accompany the deceased through the underworld. The female figures look a lot like the separate terracotta figures which were often found in graves as well.
Hellenistic period. One of a group of objects from a collection that in total is described as Hellenistic (a period lasting from ca. 335-30 BC). No further information about place where found etc. was provided.Nederlands: Dit type terracotta vaas uit Canosa in Italiaans Apulië werd als grafgift aan overledenen meegegeven. De vaas is sterk versierd met, onder andere, figuren uit de Griekse mythologie: een Medusahoofd om kwaad af te weren en centaurs om de overledene te vergezellen door de onderwereld. De vrouwenfiguren lijken sterk op vrijstaande figuren die eveneens vaak in graven worden gevonden.
