An ink illustration of a plaque showing a man leaning back on his knees with a large bird attacking his chest. Some sections, shown by dotted lines, are recreated and not part of the surviving object. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Ivory plaques (a-f), for the most part affixed to the front of bronze brooches (fibulae). They belong to the years about 700 B.C.: (a) is rather earlier than the rest; (f) rather later." |
