Ornament with Ibex
The Ornament with Ibex: A metal object made of bronze or copper with green and brown patina. The ornament features a circular base with a central hole. At the top of the base is a curled metal tail which attaches to the body of an animal. The animal, likely an ibex, is depicted with a curled horn on its head and spiral designs on its leg. The body of the animal curls downward and attaches to the base. The surface of the ornament shows signs of wear and tear, with visible pitting and discoloration throughout. The background of the image is light purple. The ornament appears to be old.
