| Reverse description | The iconic cult statue of Artemis Ephesia (Diana of the Ephesians) stands facing, rendered in the distinctive hieratic xoanon style with arms extended and the characteristic multiple rows of breast-like ornaments adorning her torso. She is flanked by two stags, and her elaborate polos headdress is surmounted by a star and crescent. To her side stands Sarapis, facing left, his right hand raised in salutation and his left hand holding a long sceptre, wearing his characteristic modius crown. The Greek legend is disposed around the field. |
