| Reverse description | The infant Melikertes-Palaimon reclines supine on the back of a dolphin leaping to the right, a scene closely associated with the Isthmian Games celebrated at Corinth. Behind the central group rises a prominent pine tree, the sacred tree of the Isthmian sanctuary. The composition is rendered in the compact, somewhat schematic style characteristic of Corinthian provincial bronzes. The colonial abbreviation appears in the field. |
