She herself was a Mrs. Lys, who was

Costly Keys,
Due thousand seven hundred pounds
was the sum given by Count Adolphe
de Rothschild for what may he said to
be the most valuable key in the world.
It is marked with the arms of the
Strozzi family and is believed to be
the work of the great Italian artist
Benvenuto Cellini, who flourished in
the sixteenth century. The key is chis¬
eled out of a block of steel, presenting
two grotesque female figures and orna¬
mented with various masks and scrolls.
Another costly key, which formerly be¬
longed to the Medici family, is in the
South Kensington museum, Loudon.
The upper part of the bow rests upon a
square temple, inclosing a standing
figure, exquisitely chiseled, holding a
shield. The pipe consists of a column
with a Corinthian capital.
