| Reverse description | The lower field features a detailed relief of an antique Jewish oil lamp (terra-cotta type) with a flame at its spout. In the central field, a two-line Hebrew inscription quotes Psalms 119:97, with a smaller Hebrew citation below. A Greek legend in retrograde runs in a semi-circle along the upper border, rendering the same verse from the Septuagint. |
