Chalkon

Beschrijving voorzijde	Youthful male head facing right, rendered in profile with flowing, loosely curled hair and a fillet or plain band across the brow. The identity of the figure is uncertain, tentatively identified as Peloros, the eponymous hero of Phalanna. The portraiture is executed in the archaizing Thessalian style characteristic of the mid-fourth century BC, with a naturalistic treatment of the facial features visible in the rounded cheek, open lips, and strong chin.
