Compare the larger (8 in. long) bronze openwork belt hook of this type, ascribed to Northwest China, 3rd century BC, illustrated by E. C. Bunker et al., Nomadic Art of the Eastern Eurasian Steppes, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2002, p. 148, no. 124, where the similarly-shaped outer border encloses an openwork scene of a wolf attacking a dzo.
