| Reverse description | A highly detailed relief of a seahorse in right profile dominates the central field, its segmented body and dorsal fin rendered with exceptional anatomical precision. The background is divided into two contrasting zones: the left half features deeply recessed, stylized swirling wave clouds in an antique finish, while the right half displays polished mirror-like engravings of flowing Polynesian-inspired scroll motifs. Crashing ocean waves are depicted in high relief along the lower portion of the field, framing the seahorse's curling tail. The composition conveys a dynamic sense of marine movement, combining Eastern wave artistry with Pacific decorative traditions. No legends or inscriptions appear on the reverse. |
