Reverse description Standing female figure, tentatively identified as Kore (Persephone), depicted facing with head turned to the left, clad in a long chiton or peplos. The figure appears to hold a corn ear (or grain stalk) in her extended hand, an attribute consistent with Kore's chthonic and agrarian symbolism. The ethnic legend ΝΥϹΑΕΩΝ is disposed around the field, identifying the civic authority of Nysa in Lydia. The composition reflects standard provincial reverse iconography associating the city with its patron deity.
