The design of this gold sheet applaqué appears to be based on that of bronze belt plaques, such as the example in the Arthur M. Sackler Collections, illustrated by Emma C. Bunker et al., Ancient Bronzes of the Eurasian Steppes, The Arthur M. Sackler Foundation, 1997, p. 280, pl. 248, where the central motif is described as a twisted bush-like form. The author also illustrates, fig. 248, a gold plaque of the same design excavated at a Xianbei site in Sandaowan, Chayouhou banner, Inner Mongolia.
