| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic naturalistic scene depicting two Arabian gazelles in full gallop across an open landscape, rendered in high relief. The upper register shows a large gazelle leaping with all four legs extended, set against a stylized sky with streaked clouds and a partial sun or moon in the upper field. The lower register features a smaller gazelle running at full stretch across desert terrain with sparse grasses in the foreground and a cluster of date palms visible in the middle distance at right. The field is divided horizontally into a polished upper sky area and a textured ground plane, and the whole design is framed by a continuous beaded border, with no legend or inscription on this side. |
