Reverse description A nude nymph stands facing right, her lower body partially draped with a cloth or garment wrapped around her legs, holding a basin or patera in both hands before her. The figure is rendered in the provincial Hellenistic artistic tradition, with a naturalistic stance. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority of Samos. The reverse type likely alludes to the sacred springs or water cult associated with the island's religious traditions.
