Belt plaque
The belt plaque by unknown artist depicts a circular object with a raised design on its surface. The design features two animals, possibly lions or dogs, standing on their hind legs in the center; they are positioned facing each other. The animals appear to be surrounded by foliage or tendrils, which are intricately carved. The circular object has a thick border around its edge. A small rectangular label at the bottom reads 'THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART'. The background of the image is a light gray color.
