Belt Buckle Plaque

anonymous, c. -0200 - c. -0100

With its sharp teeth a wolf grabs a deer by the neck. The deer bends down under the force of the attack. This kind of openwork plaque with decorations of fighting creatures is characteristic of the Ordos culture. This '˜animal style' corresponds with nomadic traditions from the steppe regions in Eastern and Central Asia.
