The image shows an ancient and ornately decorated metallic artifact with a fragmented, irregular outline suggesting it is a piece of a larger object.

The metal surface, which appears to be bronze or brass due to its golden-brown patina, is embossed with a detailed and textured design. There are at least two distinct decorative bands across the fragment where the embossing is present.

The top section depicts what seems to be a human figure wearing a garment, possibly with one hand raised. Below that, there is a lively scene featuring animal figures - one that appears to be a horse and another possibly a serpent or dragon-like creature intertwined with the horse. The animals are presented in a dynamic and stylistic manner that might indicate a mythological or symbolic representation.

Bordering these bands are decorative patterns featuring dots, circles, and possibly geometric forms giving the artifact an elaborate frame. Small, evenly spaced rivet holes suggest it might have been attached to a surface or other material.

Throughout the artifact, there are several areas where the metal appears to be corroded or worn, indicating considerable age. The piece has two drilled holes, which implies that it might have been mounted for display or used in a different context in contemporary times.
