Summary

Description
English: Gold belt buckle from Western Han dynasty tomb Tianqi Mountain Xuzhou Jiangsu 2nd century BCE. This kind of striking attack scene often decorated objects from the grassland territories north of Han domain. These gold belt buckles were possibly produced in imperial workshops, based on imported prototypes, and granted by the throne as gifts to the nobility. More than two dozen sets of gold buckles have been excavated from Xuzhou which were likely imperial gifts received by the Chu kings.
Date 2nd century BCE
