<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584957, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.2 Coin 7</p><p>23mm</p><p>4.05g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956941[/ATTACH] </p><p>This coin I believe to be related to Coins 5 and 6, although the exact relationship is unclear to me. The flat-struck area is quite unfortuante, although we still have a lot to work with here. The nose is perhaps the most striking feature of this coin, and is quite realistically engraved--large with a rounded tip and large nostrils. The lips are pursed similarly to the previous two coins, and we can also see a small chin beneath them. The ear seems to have either an elongated lobe or a hoop earring, but the three earring pearls are still present. The lower portion of the ribbon is elegantly engraved, with two parallel curving lines giving it a somewhat less two-dimensional appearance, although not entirely convincing.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fire altar on the reverse is large, but not quite as large as previously. The bowl and base are both large and wide, and the shaft is a simple rectangle connecting them. The flames feature prominently in a 4-3-2-1 pattern, and the sun is again a rayed dot to the upper right. The ribbon is a confused mess of dots in front of the attendants.</p><p><br /></p><p>The attendants are again portrayed with small, thin, simply engraved bodies, although the thorns are a bit more prominent here. The faces are unadorned large dots, surrounded by their necklaces. The arm is long, and bends sharply at the elbow.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
