Description
Cast-bronze belt plaques similar to this one have been excavated in the Republic of Georgia and are a distinctive product of that region in the first few centuries A.D. This square example features a highly stylized bird. The function of this object is a belt clasp. The tradition of lively animal or bird ornamented bronzes begins in the Caucasus region. Stylized animals are found in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the Northern Caucasus by the beginning of the Late Bronze and Early Iron ages.
