| Obverse description | Youthful bare-headed bust of Dionysos facing right, the hair rendered in thick, wavy locks bound with an ivy wreath; the modelling is accomplished in the Hellenistic tradition, with soft facial features and a slightly idealized profile. The ethnic legend KATANAIΩN is disposed around the periphery of the field, partially visible on either side of the effigy. Light patination and areas of green encrustation are visible across the flan, consistent with burial context. |
