| Reverse description | A Zoroastrian fire altar depicted frontally at center, with flames rising from the altar top; two attendant figures stand flanking the altar, each facing inward toward the sacred fire in the traditional Sasanian manner. Ribbons or streamers hang from the altar structure. The design closely follows the standard Sasanian reverse type derived from Shapur II prototypes, though executed with the characteristic schematization of Alchon Hun die-cutters. The composition is enclosed within a dotted inner border. |
