Rare Stone Bas-relief Carved In The Classical Style, First Half Of The 19th Century

Stone carvings in bas-relief depicting a heroic warrior or a deity (probably Mars or Heracles) in the pure tradition of ancient heroic nudity; he wears a crested helmet and holds his shield and a trophy of arms (tropaion) consisting of a breastplate surmounted by a helmet.
The scene blends harmoniously into an architectural setting framed by columns.

This composition reflects a fascination with Ancient Rome, which can also be seen in the Campana plaques, for example.
Dated to the first half of the 19th century; it may be older but is difficult to date.

Beautiful patina of age, some wear, chips, and missing pieces.
