| Reverse description | The reverse presents a central figural depiction of a human form, likely a deity or votive figure, shown in a frontal standing pose with stylized limbs, faithfully reproducing the iconic image from the interior of the Pietroasa patera. The figure is rendered in bold relief against a finely detailed background evoking the decorative scheme of the original fourth-century Gothic gold vessel. The legend 'PATERA' is inscribed in raised Latin letters along the upper rim, while the inscription 'TEZAURUL DE LA PIETROASA' curves along the lower rim, identifying the artifact as part of the Pietroasa Hoard. The design emphasizes the historical and artistic significance of this masterpiece of late antique goldsmithing. |
