Figure
Physical description
Pair of bronze fittings modelled in the form of tigers. The two figures are oriented so their bodies face opposite directions, with the heads in high relief, turned to face front. Both figures have incised linear designs, from the facial markings to the ends of the paws, as well as diagonal lines down the tails. Each figure has one front and one back leg, with the paws shaped into circular forms, with a hole in the centre of each. The back of each figure is hollowed out, with a half-circle attachment projecting out from behind the main body area.
