Pair of Belt Buckles Dragons by the Tree of Life

Sakae Culture
4th-5th century BC
Gold, sard, prase, black stone
L 19.8 (19.2) cm, w 10.4 (10.2) cm

The composition, framed with a rectangular arrangement of inlaid leaves, consists of two fantastic creatures standing on each side of a tree of life. The creatures' bodies are twisted around and the ends of their noses are inlaid with sard*. Such compositions with beasts standing on each side of the tree of life reflect an Assyrian-Babylonian scheme.
