| Reverse description | The archaic xoanon-style cult statue of Samian Hera stands facing, rendered frontally in the characteristic stiff, swathed form with arms held close to the body, flanked on either side by a peacock, the goddess's sacred bird. The composition reflects the famous cult image housed in the Heraion of Samos. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, and the design is enclosed within a dotted border. |
