Reverse description The xoanon-style cult statue of Samian Hera depicted standing facing, rendered in the archaic manner with arms held close to the body and the figure enveloped in a long, columnar garment adorned with a polos crown. The goddess is flanked on either side by a peacock, her sacred bird, standing facing outward. The composition reflects the famous cult image housed in the Heraion of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ is distributed in the field to left and right of the central figure, within a beaded border.
