| Reverse description | Seated figure of Zeus Aëtophoros enthroned to the left, rendered in a stylized Celtic manner derived from the Alexandrine prototype. Zeus holds an eagle perched on his extended right hand and a long scepter in his left, with the throne legs schematically indicated below. In the left field, a control mark consisting of the letter K with flanking pellets is visible. To the right, the partial legend ΛENA K runs vertically in a beaded border, representing a Celtic barbarization of the original ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΥ legend. The treatment of the figure is notably abstracted, with simplified drapery folds and anatomical details consistent with Eastern European Celtic imitative workshop production. |
