Reverse description Tetrastyle temple depicted in frontal elevation, its pediment featuring an arcuated lintel, framing the cult statue of Mên standing facing with head turned to the left. The deity wears the characteristic Phrygian cap and holds a long sceptre in one hand and a patera in the other, attributes consistent with the Anatolian moon-god iconography widely venerated in the region. The temple architecture is rendered with four columns supporting the entablature, and the reverse legend naming the local grammateus and the civic ethnic of Nysa runs around the periphery of the design.
