Reverse description Zoroastrian fire altar with pendant ribbons occupying the central field, flanked on each side by a standing attendant figure. A star and crescent flank the flames atop the altar, symbols of divine and royal authority in Sasanian iconography. The composition is enclosed within a triple-line border, with star-in-crescent ornaments filling the outer margin, consistent with Sasanian drachm typology of the late period.
