A finely cast Ordos, bronze belt plaque, depicting a stylised horse. The animal is depicted galloping, with its legs bent underneath the torso. The horse is finely rendered, showing details such as the nose band, blinkers and brow band on its head. There are two hollowed circles decorating the body on the shoulder and hind thighs respectively, suggesting they may have originally been embedded with precious inlays. Similar circles have been used to represent the eye of the animal. The reverse of the plaque is hollowed with two large protruding lugs, included to aid in the attachment of the plaque onto a piece of fabric or leather. The piece is covered with an attractive patina and some encrustations. Measurements: L 6.3cm x W 5.3cm x H 2.3cm Provenance: Provenance: Acquired 1980-2015, Ex Abelita family collection. N.B.
