| Obverse description | Bare male head facing right, rendered in fine archaic-to-early Classical style, with elaborately curled hair drawn back from the forehead and gathered in loose waves behind the ear. The facial features are sensitively modelled with a straight nose, well-defined brow, and slightly parted lips. The portrait, likely representing a youthful deity or hero associated with Phaistos, is set against a smooth, unadorned field. |
