The background is made up of trees and, on the right, a castle appears on the hill. Traces of green, yellow and red polychromy on the warriors' clothes. The relief is in the shape of an arc of a circle, on its base forming a border there is the trace of a cartouche containing a long inscription almost entirely erased. Work from the 16th century, probably Italian.
