Reverse description Cruciform arrangement featuring two facing bishops' heads and two six-pointed stars alternating in the quarters of a cross. The episcopal heads are rendered with notably broad, heavy features, and a prominent ring is depicted below the crook of the crozier. The composition is boldly struck in the regional Carinthian-Carniolian bracteate-related tradition, with strong relief and schematic detailing typical of the early thirteenth century.
