Mars in a Triumphal Car [reverse]

Niccolò Fiorentino

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a circular medallion sculpture with a relief of a chariot scene. Featured in the relief are four horses pulling a multi-tiered chariot with a figure holding staffs. The horses appear to be rearing and in motion. The sculpture is made of bronze and has inscriptions on the outer edge. The detailed design gives the impression of depth and movement within the circular form.
