Belt buckle

Pear-shaped bronze item with a straight cut narrow edge (buckle) and a relief image of onager (donkey). The item has two sub-rectangular loops on the back side. Some pieces of belt leather remained on loops. The image on plates is specular, i.e. when fastening the belt, the heads of the animals were directed towards each other. Both exhibits have indentations on the back side that repeat the image relief on the front side.
