The god Ares is shown fully armored on painted and partly gilded enamel on copper plate. He wears armor, a short chitoniskos, shin pads, and a helmet. He wields his sword in his right hand and holding his shield in his left. Several spears, swords, helmets, and shields, as well as flags and battle drums, rest on the ground. The natural landscape in the background contrasts with the god of war and his combat garb.
