Reverse description The sacred covered carriage (apene or apeme) of the cult of Artemis Ephesia, drawn by a quadriga of mules proceeding to the right, with a seated driver visible within the columnar shrine-like wagon body, which is depicted as a small naiskos with columns on its sides and a decorated roof. The scene references the sacred procession held at Ephesus in honour of Artemis. The composition fills the field with bold relief, and a Greek legend encircles the design within a beaded border, with a partial inscription visible in the lower exergual area.
