In the top left there are some small gold ornaments including images of ram horns ram heads and a bear pouncing on a ram. Naturally we could guess that this noble or craftsman had a particular fondness for herds of cattle and sheep. The top right shows a close-up of ornament shaped in ram horns which reminds me of the horn of plenty from around the 5th century BC in the West. It seems as though history converges here."
