Reverse description Full-length cult statue of Samian Hera standing to the right, depicted in the distinctive archaic xoanon style associated with her famous sanctuary on Samos. The goddess wears a kalathos (cylindrical polos crown) upon her head and holds a patera in each outstretched hand, with votive fillets (ribbons) hanging from her arms. The iconic representation closely follows the celebrated cult image housed in the Heraion of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field.
