This large vase is decorated with a mask in the middle section. It lacks the lid and base, which are known from a drawing of 1682 now in London. It belonged to Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán, Marquis of Carpio (1619-1687) who was Spanish ambassador in Rome then Viceroy of Naples in 1683, assembling an exceptional art collection in Italy.
