| Obverse description | Bust of Aphrodite facing right, rendered in fine archaic Greek style with flowing locks secured by an ampyx and sphendone. The goddess wears a prominent beaded necklace and pendant earring, both rendered with careful detail. The facial features are delicately modeled, with a graceful profile and a softly parted mouth. The hair cascades in wavy strands beneath the headdress, framing the neck and shoulder. The overall composition reflects the refined Cilician die-cutting tradition of the late fifth to early fourth century BC. |
