Belt Plaque in the Shape of a Standing Feline
Metal plaque in the shape of a standing feline by artist unknown. The plaque shows a feline standing on all fours, possibly a lion, with head facing left and body profiled. The feline has large curled ears and a bushy tail that curls at the end. The animal's mane-like fur is depicted by multiple curved lines on its head and neck. The body and head are cast in relief. The feline has a large eye on the side of its head. The object appears to be made of gray metal with visible signs of aging. The background behind the plaque is purple.
