The carved relief behind Neville depicts Mercury (symbolising good counsel) and Mars (war). A Royalist cavalry charge is shown in the distance. The artist William Dobson, called 'the most excellent painter that England hath yet bred' by John Aubrey, is particularly known for his portraits of Royalist soldiers painted in Oxford during the Civil War.
