Belt Plaque in the Shape of a Wild Boar
Belt Plaque in the Shape of a Wild Boar by Unknown. This belt plaque features a wild boar. The boar is brown with green and pinkish-red splotches on its back and gold on its lower body and face. Its snout is long and downturned, curled at the end. The boar's mane runs down its neck and back. It has small eyes and two visible tusks. A hole on either side of the boar near its snout allows for attachment. The boar appears to walk on a raised surface suggested by the gold beneath its feet. The background of the image is light purple.
