| Reverse description | Isis Pharia depicted standing right, her robes billowing dramatically as she strides forward, arms outstretched and holding an inflated sail above her head — the canonical iconographic type associated with the patroness of Byblos harbour and navigation. The figure is rendered in the lively, linear style typical of Phoenician provincial bronzes. The ethnic legend ΙƐΡΑϹ ΒΥΒΛΟΥ, identifying the sacred city of Byblos, appears in the field around the goddess. |
