Reverse description Hera of Samos depicted standing frontally on a raised base (basis), wearing a kalathos (basket crown) entwined by a serpent, her arms extended to either side, holding a patera in each hand. Fillets hang on both sides of the goddess, and peacocks — her sacred birds — flank the figure. Two stars appear in the upper field, one to each side of the deity, emphasizing her divine status. The ethnic legend ϹΑΜΙΩΝ appears in the field, identifying the issuing civic authority.
