| Obverse description | A cow stands in profile to left or right, her head turned sharply back in a naturalistic pose as she licks a suckling calf positioned beneath her. The figures are rendered in fine archaic Greek style with careful attention to anatomical detail, conveying a scene of maternal tenderness that served as the principal civic emblem of Korkyra. The composition fills the flan dynamically, with the calf depicted in a crouching posture beneath the cow's body. |
