Bronze with rider

Beschrijving voorzijde	Male head facing right, rendered in the schematized La Tène artistic style characteristic of Gaulish coinage. The hair is elaborately articulated with a prominent crest and pencil-box motif, the individual strands depicted as flowing curvilinear elements. Decorative volutes follow the contour of the hair and neck, emphasizing the ornamental quality of the design. The inscription PIXTILOS appears in the field, likely denoting a ruler or magistrate of the Carnutes tribe. The overall composition reflects the highly stylized, abstracted portrait tradition of Celtic numismatic art.

Beschrijving keerzijde	Winged horseman galloping to the right, depicted nude in the Celtic convention, holding a forked or bifurcated staff in the raised right hand. The reins extend from the horse's bit and terminate in a characteristic volute, with an additional volute motif placed beneath the horse in the lower field. The design is enclosed within a beaded circle border. The entire composition exemplifies the dynamic, curvilinear imagery typical of Carnutes bronze coinage, with the winged rider serving as a recurring divine or heroic symbol on issues of this tribe.
