Description
In the center of this plaque is a frontal human figure, wearing a cross-hatched shirt; a geometrically patterned robe; and a tall, conical helmet. He is flanked by spotted felines with long, curling tails, positioned above fields of patterning. The plaque belongs to a group of about ten closely similar pieces that constitutes the artistic high point of metallurgy in the southern Andes.- {{cite web|title=Plaque|url=false|author=|year=600–900|access-date=23 December 2025|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
