Note: The original Medici vase is a monumental marble bell shaped krater sculpted in Athens in the second half of the 1st century AD as a garden ornament for the Roman market. It is carved with a mythological bas-relief that successfully defies secure identification. The vase reappeared in the 1598 inventory of the Villa Medici, Rome, and transferred from the villa in 1780 to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence where it remains today.
