| Reverse description | A semi-draped female figure, identified as a Muse or Apollo-related deity, depicted in a kneeling or crouching pose facing right, playing a large kithara (concert lyre) held before her. The figure's drapery falls in fine folds about her lower body, while her upper torso is bare. The civic abbreviation ΚΥ appears to the left of the figure and ΞΙ to the right, together forming the ethnic ΚΥΞΙ for Kyzikos. The composition is executed with elegant Hellenistic craftsmanship, conveying both movement and musical concentration. |
