| Obverse description | Helmeted head of Athena facing right, rendered in a provincial 'barbarous' imitative style derived from Athenian new-style coinage. The Attic helmet is depicted with a decorated bowl and raised cheek-guards, surmounted by a palmette crest. The goddess's facial features are rendered with schematic, somewhat flat modeling characteristic of Arabian Peninsula imitations, with a visible earring and hair curls emerging beneath the helmet's rim. |
