| Reverse description | Female head in left profile, identified as the nymph Kallisto, her hair fully enclosed within a close-fitting net or sakkos decorated with a crosshatch pattern, and wearing a beaded necklace at the throat. A loose curl escapes behind the ear, lending naturalistic detail to the otherwise austere coiffure. The portrait is set within a recessed incuse square, a hallmark of early Arcadian coinage, and is executed in the Severe Style with refined, restrained modeling of the facial features. |
