| Reverse description | Triptolemus seated left in a winged chariot drawn by two serpents, their bodies coiling beneath the car. The figure of Triptolemus is depicted holding what appears to be grain or a torch, referencing his mythological role as the emissary of Demeter and bringer of agriculture to mankind. The Greek ethnic legend ΑΘΗΝΑΙΩΝ (of the Athenians) is inscribed in the field or around the periphery. The flan is irregular and the relief is worn but the composition retains its characteristic provincial iconographic style. |
