Among the ceramic material of the votive deposit discovered in 1959 in Piazza San Francesco in Catania, there is a local black figure stamnoid pyxis still unpublished, extraordinary document of the development of Sikeliote ceramography of the Archaic period. The frieze depicts mounted warriors armed with helmet, spear and shield.
