| Reverse description | An eagle with wings fully spread stands facing left, its head turned back to the right in a heraldic pose. The bird is rendered with careful attention to feather detail, with individual primary and secondary feathers delineated across the raised wings. The eagle, sacred to Zeus and emblematic of the sanctuary at Olympia, stands on a plain exergual ground line. The composition fills the irregular flan in a bold, confident manner characteristic of Elean engravers of the early 4th century BC. |
