| Reverse description | A richly detailed mythological scene depicting the hero Theseus, clad in an ornate crested helmet and classical armour, facing Ariadne in close proximity. Ariadne, adorned with jewelled earrings and a diadem, cradles a ball of golden thread in her hands — rendered in selective gilding — and passes its end to Theseus, referencing the myth of the Labyrinth. Both figures are rendered in high sculptural relief with finely detailed drapery and ornamentation. The background features an elaborate acanthus scroll and floral pattern. The curved legend THESEUS and ARIADNE is inscribed in a banner along the lower left field. |
