Plaque with Animal Combat Motif
Two bronze plaques, each roughly horizontal and curved along the top edge. The plaque on the left features a relief depiction of a lion-like creature with its head turned to the left, mane textured with short lines, body covered in textured fur-like pattern, and tail curved down. The creature has four legs with paws. The plaque has a green and brown patina. Four large irregularly shaped holes are cut out around and through the creature. The plaque on the right has a similar patina and shape but with less defined features and no creature depicted; instead, it shows four similar cut-outs. The background behind the plaques is white.
