| Obverse description | Stylized facing head rendered in a highly abstract Celtic manner, composed of fluid curvilinear lines and volutes. The facial features — eyes, nose, and mouth — are suggested by bold swirling motifs and spirals rather than naturalistic forms, characteristic of the La Tène artistic tradition. A large prominent spiral occupies the upper right of the field, likely representing a decorative headdress or hair treatment. The overall composition fills the irregular flan with dynamic, interlocking curved elements typical of Carnutes bronze coinage. |
