Potin with cruciform scrolls

Beschrijving voorzijde	Highly stylized effigy of a head facing left, rendered in the schematic La Tène artistic tradition. The hair is depicted as a series of simplified strands or locks gathered into a bun at the nape, executed with bold, abstract line work characteristic of Gaulish potin coinage. Facial features are reduced to geometric forms, with no legend or inscription in the field. The flan is irregular, as typical of the cast production technique employed by Armorican tribes.

Beschrijving keerzijde	A cruciform design composed of four tightly coiled volutes or scrolls radiating from a central point, each arm terminating in a rounded spiral, forming a swastika-like or pinwheel pattern deeply rooted in Celtic decorative art. The four volutes are rendered in bold relief and arranged symmetrically to fill the irregular cast flan. The composition is entirely aniconographic and devoid of any legend, typical of the abstract reverse types associated with Armorican potin issues attributed to the Durocasses. The surface shows characteristic casting roughness and dark patination.
