| Obverse description | Sphinx seated to right in the typical Chian style, with leonine body, folded wings raised prominently behind, and a human head facing left adorned with a crested helmet. The creature's forepaw rests forward, and an amphora is depicted to the left in the field. The design is rendered in high relief with confident, assured engraving characteristic of the mid-fourth century BC Ionian tradition. |
