| Reverse description | The Hindu deity Shiva stands in full figure before his sacred bull Nandi, whose head is rendered in full frontal view. The god is attired in Sasanian court garments and wears a Sasanian-style diadem, holding a trident in his left hand and a noose in his right hand. The composition is set upon a baseline, combining Kushano-Sasanian iconographic traditions in a syncretic religious tableau. The overall style reflects the hybrid artistic conventions characteristic of late Kushan dynastic coinage. |
