Patimat Guseynova. The Bezhta Buckle, 2013

This painting of 2013 depicts an old buckle that is damaged: part of it has broken off on the left side. The buckle's frame is decorated with a herringbone pattern and multi-petalled rosettes of granulation under each loop.

The frame encloses a multi-part composition of symmetrically placed relief figures of deer with widely branching antlers. The antlers form an oval space, and in each oval is placed a bear's head, seen from the front. The heads are joined to the inner edge of the frame by short rods. The canvas is kept in grey-green tones.
