The nomadic communities of Central Asia used such plaques to embellish clothing and horse trappings. As these nomadic cultures herded animals and were constantly moving, their artistic production was expressed in portable objects that marked the wearer’s status and wealth. The outstanding preservation of these fragile ornaments suggests they were used in conjunction with burials, where the body was aggrandized with valuable textiles and augmented with gold. Although it is difficult to date and place these objects geographically, their presence in Central Asia and has a long, established history.

Heading to a printed broadside. A description of the image of Napoleon is inscribed at the bottom: "This Hieroglyphic Portrait of the DESTROYER is faithfully copied from a German Print, with the parody of his assumed titles. The "Hat. . ." represents a discomfited French Eagle, maimed and crouching, after his Conflict with the Eagles of the North. His "Visage" is composed of the Carcases of the Victims of his Folly and Ambition, who perished on the Plains of Russia and Saxony. His Throat is encircled with the "Red Sea", in Allusion to his drowned Hosts. His Epaulette is a "Hand", leading the Rhenish Confederation, under the flimsy Symbol of a "Cobweb". The "Spider" is an Emblem of the Vigilance of the Allies, who have inflicted on That Hand a deadly Sting!"
