| Reverse description | Two tall, schematically rendered cult objects or standards depicted facing, likely representing the twin pillars or divine symbols associated with the Phoenician deity Melqart, patron god of Lixus. The devices are flanked by subsidiary symbolic elements at their bases, rendered in a flat, linear style typical of Punic-influenced civic bronzes. The whole design is enclosed within a partial dotted border. No legible legend is present, consistent with the known anepigraphy of this Lixus series. |
