South Italian, probably Apulian or related, red‑figure workshop working in an Attic style, ca. 430–380 BCE

South Italian red‑figure pottery fragment with the head and upper torso of a woman, probably from a cup or small skyphos, . The roughly trapezoidal sherd preserves the profile of a female figure facing left, drawn in the Attic‑influenced manner: she has a long, finely contoured eye and nose, a small chin, and abundant wavy hair cascading in thick curls down the neck, rendered with dilute‑glaze internal strokes against the reserved orange‑red clay. A few sharp linear folds at the shoulder suggest a chiton or himation.

The surrounding field is covered with a glossy black glaze, now slightly abraded and speckled with small encrustations and pinprick losses from burial; the reverse is largely glazed black with wheel‑turning grooves visible and old collection or inventory labels attached. All fracture edges are ancient and stable, with no apparent modern restoration or repainting in the images provided.

Size: measuring approximately 2‑3/8 inches (6 cm) in both height and width.
