| Reverse description | Female head facing left, identified as Sappho or possibly the nymph Mytilene, rendered in refined late archaic style. The hair is restrained by a sphendone featuring a double band across the crown, with two broad curls arranged symmetrically over the forehead. The legend ΜΥΤΙΛΗΝΑΙΩΝ is disposed in the field around the portrait, serving as the ethnic of the issuing city. The portrait displays the characteristic elegance of Lesbian engraving of the late 5th century BC. |
