Reverse description At left, the archaic cult statue of Athena Ilias stands atop a short column, facing right, wearing a kalathos on her head and holding a transverse spear and a spindle, emblematic of her veneration at Ilium. At right, a scene of ritual sacrifice is depicted: a cow is suspended from a tree facing left, while a man in the tree grasps her horn with one hand and raises a knife with the other to slaughter the animal, evoking the sacred rites practiced at the sanctuary. The ethnic legend ΙΛΙΕΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing city.
