DescriptionA gilt bronze belt plaque of rectangular shape, a pronounced rounded edge, with one end arched. The top surfact has intricate detail, (though difficult to see with the green corrosion). Two pieces of what might be clay (white) with blue paint (?) over the top have been placed/attached to the front - not sure when or why, (perhaps to take the place of something that has broken off?).
