| Reverse description | Standing figure of Hephaestus facing right, holding a cantharus into which wine is being poured by Dionysus, who is seated to the left; a thyrsus stands in the field behind Dionysus. The scene alludes to the mythological and cultic associations between the two deities and reflects the religious traditions of Sardis. The composition is rendered in the narrative style characteristic of Lydian provincial bronzes, with the figures occupying the full reverse field. The surrounding Greek legend names the local magistrate and civic authority responsible for the issue. |
