| Reverse description | A cista mystica, the sacred wicker basket of Dionysus rendered in latticed detail and set upon a stepped base, with a serpent rearing from within and extending upward across the field. The design is a well-known Bithynian religious motif referencing Dionysiac cult practice. The ethnic legend ΝΙΚΑΙΕΩΝ is distributed around the periphery, and the composition is framed by a beaded border. |
