| Obverse description | Griffin seated to left in three-quarter perspective, its right forepaw raised and extended forward, powerful folded wings rendered with finely engraved feather striations sweeping upward to the right. The creature's leonine body and haunches are modelled in high relief, with a serpentine tail curling beneath. An ivy leaf appears to the left in the field. The whole design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of the fine Abderite engraving tradition of the late fifth century BC. |
