Decorative belt plaques
Two rectangular metal plaques with rounded corners. The plaque on the left features a relief sculpture of a recumbent animal with its head facing right and front legs extended; three indistinct shapes are to the left. The plaque on the right features a relief sculpture of a recumbent animal with its head facing left; another animal stands behind it on the right. Both plaques have a dark, weathered appearance. They are placed side by side on a white fabric surface. The plaques are likely decorative belt plaques by an unknown artist.
