National Gallery of Art

The sculpture depicted on the round object shows a mounted warrior and an infantry soldier. The central figure is a man riding a horse, wearing a helmet with a crest and holding a spear or staff. The horse is depicted mid-stride. In front of the horse, there is an infantry soldier wearing a helmet and holding a spear or staff. The engraving is on a raised, circular surface, made of a gold-colored metal. The texture appears rough and aged, with skillfully carved details.
