Belt Plate by unknown artist. A square metal object with a raised design on the surface with a worn, aged appearance. The surface of the object exhibits significant wear and tear, with visible signs of rust or corrosion. The metal appears to be dark gray or brown in color, with patches of lighter gray and orange. The raised design consists of a central image surrounded by a border. The central image depicts two figures facing each other with a curved object between them, and a line below. The border features a repeating pattern of shapes. The four corners of the plate are marked with circular bumps. The object is set against a dark gray background.
