Jewellery plate made from sheet gold

Index card: Golden jewellery plate with a soldered, sculpted bird's head bearing a partially defective attachment. The plate itself is probably made from the stylised body of the bird, as is the case with similar golden decorative plates from Costarica, stone plates from Lake Valencia in Venezuela, etc.
