Belt tip (fragment) with figures of mountain sheep - argali.
The belt tip is elongated and rectangular in shape, with a rounded end and a slight curvature. The front surface is convex and decorated with miniature figures of mountain sheep (argali), soldered in two rows: three figures in the upper row and four in the lower row. The argali are depicted with their legs tucked under; their bodies feature comma-shaped recesses designed to hold gemstone inlays. The space between the figures is densely filled with granulation. The edges of the belt tip are folded toward the reverse side.
