Plaque with Head
The image shows a gold-colored plaque with a raised relief of a human head. The plaque is an irregular shape, wider at the top than at the bottom, with a beaded border around its edges. The relief head is facing left, and the figure appears to have long hair. The figure has a necklace or collar around their neck. There are two small protrusions at the bottom of the plaque, possibly for attaching it to something. The background is a plain gray color. Plaque with Head, by Nicholas Roerich.
