| Reverse description | Deeply recessed incuse square of rough, unworked surface, divided by a raised ridge into two unequal compartments, characteristic of the primitive punch technique employed at Massalia in this early archaic period. The incuse is the result of the tail punch used during striking and bears no decorative or epigraphic element. The surrounding field shows the granular texture of the hammered flan. |
