| Reverse description | Central field features a finely detailed depiction of a Tang Dynasty Dunhuang Apsara (飞天), shown in graceful flight to the right, rendered in the classical style of Mogao Cave murals. The celestial figure is draped in flowing ribbons and robes that swirl dynamically around the body, and carries an offering tray, evoking the iconographic tradition of Tang-period Buddhist art. Stylized clouds frame the composition in the surrounding field. The inscription 敦煌飞天（唐代）appears at the upper left, identifying the subject as a Tang Dynasty flying Apsara. The denomination 20 is inscribed at the lower right of the field. |
