Guimet Museum in the context of Saksanokhur gold buckle

The Saksanokhur gold buckle is an ancient belt buckle in gold repoussé, discovered in the Hellenistic archaeological site of Saksanokhur, South Tajikistan. The plate represents a nomadic horserider spearing a boar, set within a rectangular decorative frame. The buckle is generally dated to the 1st–2nd century CE, although Francfort dates it earlier to the 2nd–1st century BCE, as do the curators for the Guimet Museum, and the National Museum of Antiquities of Tajikistan.
