A black leather horse-brass strap carries five brass-tone medallions, including a spoked wheel, a standing horse, and pierced animal and bird motifs. Horse brasses traditionally ornamented working horses' harnesses; the openwork shapes stand out strongly against the dark leather backing. The strap measures approximately 24" long, with adornments approximately 3" wide. A Seiden brass heron stands on a circular base, its long neck and bill rising above textured wing feathers. It is accompanied by a pair of turned brass-tone candlesticks and a solid brass masquerade mask with colorful ornamental detailing. A small blue vase with horizontal metallic bands, an ornate low vessel, and a small face-form ornament complete the grouping. The stand used to display the horse-brass strap is not included.
