| Obverse description | Facing three-quarter bust of Aphrodite turned slightly to the right, rendered in fine archaic-transitional style, wearing a triple-pendant earring and beaded necklace. A Phrygian helmet is positioned in the left field behind the goddess, serving as an iconographic attribute. The portrait is modelled with careful attention to facial contour and coiffure, characteristic of Knidian artistic sensibility in the fourth century BC. The field is otherwise plain, with no exergual line or legend present on the obverse. |
