The plates contain designs of animals symbolic of every historical era and every area of the world. They are represented: a quadruped with a back decorated with red and gold squiggles, representing southern russia; a donkey also decorated in gold and purple and represents the period of greatest flowering of the middle eastern period (500-400 bc); the egyptian jewel with gold and blue scarab, symbol of the great pharaoh tutankhamen (1349 bc. C.); chimù jewel representing the symbol of the peruvian chiefs of the pre-columbian period (1100-1300); a minoan jewel, representing pre-hellenic greece, depicting a person holding two large herons by the neck, overhanging 4 snakes.
