| Reverse description | A helmeted sphinx depicted in left-facing profile, rendered in a vigorous Celtic artistic idiom that conflates Classical Mediterranean iconography with native British stylization. The creature's S-shaped tail curves prominently above its haunched body, while spread wings are suggested by bold incised lines emanating from the back. The helmet is rendered with simplified but recognizable crested form. A pellet border encircles the design field, and the flan is of the characteristic small, thick, irregular fabric of Catuvellaunian bronze issues. |
