| Reverse description | Six ephebi advancing left, collectively bearing a bull upon their shoulders in the context of a sacrificial procession, a type closely associated with the civic religious life of Nysa-on-the-Maeander. A flautist stands to the left before the group, also facing left, providing musical accompaniment to the ritual. The scene is rendered in the characteristic high-relief style of Lydian provincial bronzes, with the figures tightly grouped across the field. The encircling Greek legend naming the grammateus Eutychos and the Nysaean civic authority runs around the periphery. |
