Reverse description Frontal cult statue of Samian Hera depicted in the archaic xoanon style, standing rigidly facing, flanked by two peacocks — the goddess's sacred birds — one to each side. A crescent and star appear in the upper field to the left and right respectively, emphasizing the celestial and divine character of the deity. The reverse legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ curves around the design, identifying the issuing civic authority. The composition reflects the deep local religious identity of Samos and the importance of the Heraion sanctuary.
