Antique vase of marble decorated with ox skulls and garlands 

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, an Italian artist known for his dramatic and detailed depictions of ancient Roman architecture, showcases a monumental marble vase. The vase is richly adorned with ox skulls and garlands, reflecting a classical aesthetic popular during Piranesi's time. The engraved inscription indicates the vase was located in England, in the possession of Lady Jane Sijnnot. Piranesi's work often explored themes of grandeur and historical significance, and this detailed rendering of the vase exemplifies his meticulous approach to design.
