| Reverse description | A kalathos (wicker basket) depicted centrally, filled with a poppy head and ears of grain, emblematic of the agricultural fertility symbolism associated with Elaea and its civic identity. The reverse type reflects the city's connection to Demeter and the bounty of the harvest. The ethnic legend of the Elaeans is distributed around the type in the field. The design is simply rendered but clearly legible in the characteristic style of small Mysian provincial bronzes. |
