The figure sits upon a throne or rock, with the legs crossed in a relaxed posture. A control mark or anchor symbol appears in the lower field, a dynastic emblem of Characene. The Greek royal legend ΒΑΣΙΛΕΩΣ ΥΣΠΑΟΣΙΝΟΥ is disposed in two vertical columns flanking the central figure on left and right. |
