Belt Buckle with Zoomorphic Motif
Gold belt buckle with a zoomorphic motif by unknown artist. The buckle is gold-colored and rectangular with rounded edges, featuring a raised design. The design depicts multiple creatures that resemble dragons or snakes, intricately intertwined. The creatures have curved bodies and heads. The buckle has a small protrusion on the left side, likely for attaching to a belt. A dark brown, rusted piece of metal is attached to the top-left corner of the buckle. The buckle has a beaded border around its edges. Several small, round, dark red gemstones or beads are embedded throughout the design. The buckle appears to be made of gold or gold-plated metal. The background of the image is a solid light purple color.
