Look
carefully at the creature's belt. How would you describe it?
The belt
is made of a series of rectangles or plaques that encircle the
figure's waist. Another string of plaques hangs down from the
center of the belt.
Do
you see the rings that are attached to the horizontal part of
the belt?
Belts shaped
like this and made of solid gold have been found in Korea in
the tombs of kings buried about 1,400 years ago. These tombs
also contained skillfully made gold crowns and jewelry, an indication
of the kings' great wealth.
