This is a study of the relief plaques of the 'Ordos bronzes' and
their kin in north China and Central Asia, including Peter the
Great's Treasure in the State Hermitage, St Petersburg. It attempts
to classify them by shape, style and iconography, and to trace
their origins, listing and illustrating as many specimens as seemed
necessary to convey to the reader the unity of individual series as
well as their variety. One class is distinguised as probably made
by the Chinese and for the Chinese after their adoption of nomad
dress and tactics for archer cavalry in the later 4th century BC.
