Plaque
6th-8th centuries AD
Bronze
11.2 x 4.6 cm
Perm region
The plaque shows an intricate two-tiered composition. An
elk/man is walking along the back of an anteater, surrounded by
the remains of his victims – two animal heads and three animal
skins, one of which is of a beaver. These are offerings to the
gods to bring well-being to the tribe.
