A cylindrical terracotta object purchased in Puglia, southern Italy.

Because it is hollow, it was used mainly in the Puglia region of southern Italy as a lightweight and insulating building material to replace limestone and tuff.


Many of them are destroyed during renovation work, so there are not many left.
