　This is probably a paperweight with a beast-shaped strap attached to a rectangular or square ceramic plate. The knob represents the prone shape of a beast, and a face is drawn on one end. Although it looks like a human face, it was probably intended to represent a tiger. About one-third of the board is missing.
