Relief Plaque with Cow Sacrifice Low-poly 3D model

A brass relief plaque created using the lost-wax casting technique. The plaque is wide and rectangular, featuring side flanges. Its background is adorned with river leaf patterns and stippling. There are three nail holes in the upper half—two on the left and one on the right—as well as one hole at the bottom right.

The scene depicts a cow sacrifice. At the right center, a cow is shown from above, with its legs held by four attendants positioned above and below the animal, all facing forward. A fifth attendant stands in the foreground, shown in left profile, holding the cow's mouth. At the center of the composition, a larger, prominently scaled figure faces forward. This figure wears a ridged helmet adorned with a feather and a side plait on the left. The attire includes a beaded necklace, a leopard-tooth necklace, a chestband, body armor with pendant bells, an armlet on the upper right arm, a bracelet on the lower right arm, and a wrap-around skirt. Two additional figures, depicted at different scales, are positioned at the top of the plaque, both facing forward.
