| Reverse description | A stylised bird, identified as a plumed or long-tailed creature characteristic of Series V type 7 sceats, depicted in profile facing left with spread wings suggested by bold incised lines radiating from the body. The central body mass is rendered as a raised oval form with pellet ornaments scattered in the field around it, conveying a sense of heraldic abstraction. Diagonal incised lines filling the wings and tail area create a feathered texture typical of this die class. The entire design is enclosed within a border of large raised pellets consistent with the obverse treatment. |
