| Reverse description | Seated frontal figure of the goddess Ardoksho (the Kushan deity of fortune and abundance), rendered in the late Kushan style with schematic drapery falling in parallel folds. The goddess is depicted enthroned, her hands held in a gesture of benediction or holding attributes, with beaded ornamentation framing the figure. Brahmi legend identifying the deity as Ardoksho appears in the field. The composition follows the standard Kushan reverse type, with the divine figure occupying the central field and subsidiary symbols flanking the image, consistent with the iconographic tradition of the debased late Kushan series. |
