Reverse description Female head in right profile, elegantly rendered within a beaded border, wearing an ampyx (a broad frontal diadem) and a sphendone (a cloth head-covering tied at the back), with carefully incised hair striations visible beneath the headdress. A triskelion (diskeles) symbol is placed in the field behind the head. The portrait displays fine Lycian craftsmanship, with delicate facial features and a graceful neck, consistent with the dynastic artistic tradition of western Lycia in the early fourth century BC.
