| Reverse description | Standing frontal figure, likely the Virgin Orans or an imperial figure, depicted in long robes with heavily stylised, schematic rendering typical of Bulgarian imitative trachea. The figure stands rigidly with arms partially raised or extended, wearing a crown or headpiece, with loros-like garment indicated by dotted or beaded ornamental bands on the torso. The overall execution is characteristic of the debased provincial Bulgarian workshop tradition, with simplified, angular features derived from Byzantine prototypes of the late Komnenian or Angelid period. |
