belt plate
- Object description
- The plate consists of a circular sheet of bronze, and is slightly convex-concave in the middle. The convex side is decorated with stamped and incised geometric design. In the middle is a five-pointed star outlined with double rows of stamped dots, around a central motif of incised concentric circles; the spaces between the five points are filled with angles. Three concentric zones surround the star, each composed of a zigzag band executed with a triangular stamp and bordered on either side by a band of concentric lines; the zones are separated from each other and from the central ornament by concentric rows of stamped dots. In the angles between the points of the star are five knobs, and four knobs in each of the concentric zigzag bands. The plate is perforated by twelve holes.
