Belt Buckle with Beaked Ungulates
The image shows two identical rectangular belt buckles. The belt buckles are side by side. Each belt buckle has a raised border with a twisted rope design. The center design of each buckle features a raised depiction of two animals with long curved horns. The animals have long snouts and bodies with curved lines. They appear to be ungulates, specifically with beaked features. The belt buckles have a gold-colored finish with some darker areas, possibly from oxidation or patination. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
