A chance discovery led to the rescue or this magnificent urn from the grave, where it had lain for hundreds of years, The vase was found hidden and unknown. early in the seventeenth century by some laborers, who. digging on a hillock in the neighborhood of Rome, broke into a small vault. On further examination It revealed a suite of three sepulchral chambers. In the largest In the room they found a finely sculptured sarcophagus, which contained the beautiful vase. It was full of ashes, but It bore no Inscription as to the remains It held, nor has the mystery ever been solved which nhrouds Its origin. The vase was d posited in the Barberinl palace, where It remained until 1770, when the representative of the Barberinl family, a Roman princess, was forced to part with It to pay her hands gambling debts. The rase changed twice, then it was disposed of to the duchess of Portland, but with such secrecy that her own family was not aware of the transaction until arter her death. At the sale or the duchsss of Portland's collection It was purchased by her son, the third duke of Portland, for th rum. of $5,145, and It was deposited In the museum by his successor.
