An off-white marble relief fragment depicts the profile of Mars Ultor facing our left. He has a beard of tight, rounded curls and wears a helmet with a tall, curved crest. Below the neck, his armor features circular patterns. To our left, a hand holds a cluster of fruit beneath a round disc. The sculpture's edges are irregular and jagged.
