| Reverse description | Stylized Zoroastrian fire altar depicted centrally, surmounted by a crenellated crown-like capital decorated with globular pellets arranged in columns, strongly reminiscent of Sasanian fire altar types but rendered in a highly schematic, degenerate fashion characteristic of Arab-Bukharan imitative issues. Two attendant figures flank the altar on either side, each shown in a simplified, frontal stance. The entire composition is executed in a bold, deeply impressed style with pellet ornamentation throughout the field. |
