Emblem in the form of a figurine of a standing goat figurine of a standing gazelle with slightly bent legs on a ring-shaped base. Through the center of the gazelle's body runs a sleeve-shaped hole aligned with the hole in the ring, allowing the figurine to be mounted on, for example, a wooden handle. The animal's protruding ears contain holes that could have been used for hanging ornaments e.g., bells. Luristan bronze, unknown Luristan workshop; 1st half of the 1st millennium BC Iron Period II, Iran.
