A rare Etruscan black-figure kalpis, which has been traced back to 510 B.C., will be returned to the Italian government following a transfer ceremony Tuesday, at the Toledo Museum of Art. A June 2012 agreement between the United States and the Toledo Museum of Art followed by yesterday’s transfer ceremony is the culmination of an extensive investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) to restore the true provenance of the kalpis. In this photo Italian consul Marco Nobli with the kalpis.
