"The Warwick Vase"

Had to find somewhere indoor for today's Blip. Weather terrible so it's from the Burrell Gallery in Glasgow's Pollok Country Park.
Scotsman Gavin Hamilton discovered this Roman marble vase around 1771 at Hadrian's Villa, Tivoli.
The vase was found in the silt of a marshy pond in the villa's extensive grounds, where Hamilton had obtained excavation rights and proceeded to drain the area. Hamilton sold the fragments to Sir William Hamilton, British envoy at the court of Naples from whose well-known collection it passed to his nephew George Greville, 2nd Earl of Warwick, where it caused a sensation.
The Vase was sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New Work in 1978. The Vase however was declared as an object of National Importance and an Export licence was delayed to halt the shipping. Funds were raised to match the selling price and the Vase although thought not to be of enough importance for the British Museum became part of the Burrell Collection, at Pollok Park.
Also in the pic is "The Thinker", a bronze statue by Auguste Rodin, at the Burrell Collection. Wonder if he's thinking about this crappy weather.
