Crown
Not on view
This sheet worked in repoussé was originally curved into the shape of a crown. Two sets of perforations on the lateral edges would have been used to attach it to a textile backing. The central figure appears in the upright stance of a human but has animal attributes, including feline fangs, raptor claws, and a belt and hair in the form of snakes.
Originalmente, esta placa con diseño en relieve tenía forma de corona. Dos pares de perforaciones en los bordes laterales podrían haber sido utilizados para sujetarla a un tejido. El tocado presenta una figura central erguida en postura humana, pero con atributos animales, tales como colmillos de felinos, garras de aves rapaces, así como un cinturón y cabello en forma de serpiente.
