The bare neck truncation is unadorned. The encircling legend runs clockwise around the periphery of the flan, partially divided at the base of the bust. |

The drapery falls gracefully over the shoulder in fine folds rendered in the hammered style. The reverse legend encircles the bust, reading clockwise from the left field. |
