| Obverse description | Bare head of a nymph facing right, rendered in fine archaic Greek style with naturalistic detail. The hair is swept back in loose, flowing locks secured by a rolled fillet, with individual strands carefully delineated across the crown and behind the ear. A small pendant earring is visible at the lobe. The facial features are delicately modelled, with an almond-shaped eye, refined profile, and slightly parted lips characteristic of the early Classical period. The field is plain and unlettered. |
