| Reverse description | Helmeted head of Athena in right profile, wearing a Corinthian helmet pushed back on the head, the cheek-guards flanking her face; the facial features are rendered with characteristic archaic-to-early classical precision. Behind the goddess, a winged male figure, identified tentatively as Eros, stands to the right and holds a taenia (fillet or ribbon) extended in both hands. The composition combines divine iconography with a secondary votive or decorative motif, reflecting the artistic ambition of Ambracian die engravers within the broader Corinthian stater tradition. |
