| Reverse description | An owl standing three-quarters facing to the right, rendered in the distinctive Phoenician style, with large globular eyes and detailed feathering visible on the wings and breast. To the left stands an Egyptian crook sceptre (heqat), a symbol of authority, and to the right a Phoenician inscription. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The composition closely parallels Athenian iconographic conventions but reinterprets them within a Phoenician religious and political context. |
