Ingalio of Mars Seventeenth Century Agate, Diamonds, Silver Gilt, Pearls, Emeralds The Royal Collection |
The intaglio shows a head of a bearded warrior (probably Mars)—depicted in profile to the left. He wears a necklace and a helmet which is adorned with a horse-drawn chariot. Another figure is also depicted—to the right of the profile. There, we see a small, full-length female figure who holds aloft a flowing piece of drapery.
