    • A superb, French late-Victorian Era patented pendant. Deep, intricate engraving of the Roman God Mars on a black glass plaque. Based on the neo-attic helmet featuring a stylised dragon, this intaglio depicts the ancient Roman ‘God of War’, Mars (Ares in ancient Greek mythology). For reference, see F.S Meyer’s ‘Mars Illustation’ in the ‘Handbook of Ornament’. The intaglio is set in a typically French 19th century ornate mount, with floral scrollwork throughout.
