I received this artifact from a friend but wasn't given much information on what it is. All I know is that it is probably Asian, has different metals, seems to be pretty old, and has a large gold dragon on it. I would really like to know what time period it is from, what country it is from, what it was used for, and how much it is worth. If you know anything about this artifact, please let me know! Thank you very much.

My wife bought these on a tripto philadelhia last april. She bought them at an antique store it was a small store mom and pop kinda thing. She paid $75 for them. I am really curious as to what these plates/ plaques/ or whatever you would call tem are. Who they depict who they were made by and when. I think they are either brass or bronze. the background material is made of a velour kind of material. The heads are fixed by a screw that runs from the back of the frame. Did she get a good deal or not? Thanks
