The panels depict two Spartan warriors looking at each other; such motifs were very popular in the early 20th century. Handcrafted using the repoussé technique, executed in copper, finely chased and chiselled, professionally and exceptionally well crafted, with the thoughtful details speaking for themselves.

Professionally and elegantly framed, these reliefs can fully reveal their artistic impact.
