Trophy of Weapons of War, Decorative Horizontal Panel Design

A pen and brown wash drawing shows a central cartouche framed by crossed spears, banners, a helmet, trumpets, and armor pieces arranged in a symmetrical trophy. A carved mask-like face sits at the center, and a small cherub head appears at the lower right. The drawing sits on a pale sheet with a ruled border.
