| Reverse description | A quiver filled with arrows, depicted upright in the central field, with arrow-flights projecting from the top. Flanking or adjacent to the quiver is a bow, rendered horizontally or at a slight angle. The civic legend ΛYT appears in the field, serving as the ethnic abbreviation for Lyttos. The overall composition is compact and boldly struck, occupying most of the small irregular flan. The design is typical of Cretan civic bronzes referencing the hunting and martial attributes of Artemis or Apollo. |
