| Reverse description | A highly detailed high-relief depiction of Scheherazade, the legendary Persian queen and storyteller of One Thousand and One Nights, shown as a veiled female figure in three-quarter bust facing the viewer. Her headdress is adorned with inlaid crystal gemstones and golden accents, with a decorative bejeweled chain across her forehead. Surrounding her are narrative vignettes in the background field: an Oriental palace at left, a coiled dragon at lower left, a graceful female dancer and a dove in flight at right, all set against a geometric lattice pattern evoking Arabian artistic tradition. The legend SCHEHERAZADE arcs across the upper field in stylized lettering, and the entire composition is framed by an intricate Celtic-style knotwork border. |
