| Obverse description | Crude hammered depiction of the divine couple Lord Shiva and Parvati seated together, rendered in a highly stylized and schematic manner characteristic of South Indian cast copper issues of the East India Company period. The figures occupy the full field of the irregular flan, with Shiva identifiable by his tall form and Parvati beside him, both executed in low relief with minimal detail. The overall design reflects the archaic indigenous iconographic tradition of the Tiruchchirappalli region. |
