| Obverse description | Bearded Dionysos, nude to the waist and draped in a himation over his lower body, reclines in a relaxed pose upon the back of a walking donkey (ass), his head crowned with an ivy wreath. In his raised right hand he holds a cantharus (wine cup); the remainder of the field below the donkey's legs features a sinuous vine tendril bearing a bunch of grapes. The composition is rendered in a bold, naturalistic style characteristic of the Northern Aegean tradition of the late fifth century BC. |
