Rectangular openwork bronze belt plaque with hexactinal design. Similar plaques are known from cemeteries in Tuva and the Kosogol hoard from the southwest of Krasnoyarsk Kray. According to Russian scholars such plaques with six-ray design possibly represent a simplified version of some of the Ordos bronzes.
