| Reverse description | Highly abstracted and degenerate representation of the Sasanian fire altar with attendants, reduced to a series of pellets, pellet-in-annulet motifs, and linear strokes distributed across the field. The surrounding area is filled with a scattered arrangement of raised pellets forming a border, a hallmark of the late Gadhaiya series. The design retains only vestigial traces of the original Sasanian iconography, reflecting the advanced stylistic degradation typical of Malwa regional imitations of this period. The flan surface shows characteristic billon patination with areas of copper corrosion. |
