Reverse description The reverse presents a finely detailed figural composition depicting the biblical covenant scene between Jonathan (left) and David (right), rendered in a linear ancient Near Eastern artistic style. Jonathan, clad in scale armor with a quiver of arrows at his back and a sword at his belt, extends his right hand in a handshake toward David while offering a bundle of spears. David, wearing a simple tunic with a bow slung over his shoulder, grasps Jonathan's hand in acceptance of the covenant. The two figures face each other in profile against a mirror-polished field, with no legends or inscriptions on the reverse, allowing the sculptural relief to dominate the composition entirely.
