Beschrijving voorzijde Celticized imitation of the Athenian Athena head type, depicting a stylized helmeted bust facing right with pronounced, schematized curling hair rendered in a bold, granular relief characteristic of South Arabian die-cutting. The helmet is rendered in a simplified form consistent with local artistic conventions derived from the Athenian prototype. The facial features, including a large eye depicted in a distinctly non-Greek stylized manner, reflect the progressive abstraction applied by Sabaean engravers to the original Attic model. The flan is irregular and the surfaces show typical ancient die wear.

Beschrijving keerzijde Standing owl facing, rendered in the Athenian tradition but with pronounced local stylization, with feathered body depicted through a series of convex pellets and boldly incised wing lines. The head is shown en face with large circular eyes and a radiate crown of feathers above. To the left of the owl, a South Arabian (Ancient South Semitic) inscription occupies the field in vertical arrangement; to the right, a further South Arabian legend is present, flanking the central device. The composition closely follows the Attic owl reverse type but is thoroughly adapted in artistic execution to the regional South Arabian idiom.
