| Reverse description | A facing lion scalp rendered in bold, high relief, with a broad, symmetrical mane composed of flowing, stylized radiating strands framing the entire face. The lion's eyes are deeply set, the muzzle prominent, and the open jaws suggest a roaring expression, executed in the forceful Late Archaic convention. Below the lion scalp, the abbreviated ethnic inscription ΣΑ (for Samos) appears in the field in two letters flanking the lower portion of the design. |
