The figure of a warrior in classical Roman attire, poised contrapposto with one hand resting upon a shield, the opposing hand clutching a club slung over behind his shoulder. Mounted upon a naturalistically modeled rocky mound atop a silver clad collar housing a finely carved rock crystal intaglio with a heraldic crest. His shield anklets affixed with what appear to be small rubies. Overall height, 3 1/8”. Likely inspired by the Renaissance bronze by Bertoldo di Giovanni titled ‘The Shield Bearer’ presently in the Princely Collections, Liechtenstein.
