Belt Hook with Wolf and Dzo
The image shows a belt hook with a wolf and a dzo. The belt hook is made of bronze or copper and has a green patina. The hook is oriented horizontally, with the hook end on the left. The hook end tapers to a point. The main body of the hook is rectangular with rounded edges. Two animals are depicted in relief on the main body. The animal on the left is a wolf with its mouth open and tail curled. The wolf has its front right paw raised. The animal on the right is a dzo, which is a type of wild yak. The dzo faces left and has a curved horn protruding from its forehead. The dzo's head is lowered as if butting the wolf. The background of the image is light pink.
