<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtisimo, post: 8336951, member: 83845&quot;]Thank you! We had a fun discussion about this iconography a few years ago. A pekheis was the personification of a cubit (unit of measure) in the form of a small child. The Nile ideally rose to 16 cubits which is why 16 is written on the reverse. On statues there were 16 pekheis shown along with Nilus such as this statue in the Vatican.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1478169[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/egyptian-drachm-a-variation-of-a-magnificent-ancient-sculpture-type.370459/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/egyptian-drachm-a-variation-of-a-magnificent-ancient-sculpture-type.370459/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/egyptian-drachm-a-variation-of-a-magnificent-ancient-sculpture-type.370459/</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
