Reverse description Archaic xoanon of Athena Ilias represented standing to left atop a rectangular base, conveying the rigid frontality characteristic of early cult idol imagery. The deity wears a polos on her head and holds a filleted spear directed downward in one hand and a distaff in the other, attributes referencing both her martial and domestic aspects. A rose appears in the lower left field, serving as a civic or mint symbol. The overall composition reflects the deep religious significance of the Palladion cult at Ilion and is rendered in the incuse or flat-field style typical of Troadean silver issues of this period.
