while visiting Römisch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (RGZM) in the ancient city of Moguntiacum aka Mainz I came across this interesting Sassanian plate, allegedly from VI-VII century AD, and an example of the Sassanian metal art - frankly I have never seen one like that before I think
Any ideas?
enjoy

nota bene the Mainz museum has some amazing artifacts from the Late Antiquity and early Middle Ages, a true gem and its is free to enter...

Reminds me of this one sword from Arabia (3rd C IIRC) which had a bent forwards pommel.
