| Obverse description | Facing left, the draped bust of Demeter wearing a wreath of grain ears, a triple pendant earring, and a pearl necklace, rendered in fine archaic-influenced relief characteristic of the Metapontine school. The goddess's hair is arranged in formal waves beneath the wreath. To the lower left, beneath the chin, the magistrate's mark ΔΕΧ appears in retrograde Greek characters within the field. |
