<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Finn235, post: 3584991, member: 98035&quot;]1.1.7 Coin 2</p><p>23mm</p><p>4.01g</p><p>[ATTACH=full]956970[/ATTACH] </p><p>Horrendous striking issues obscure about half of the obverse and a third of the reverse of this coin, but important observations are still there to be made. On this coin more than the previous, we can see that the cheek connects directly to the hat, which here has a double brim, and the bowl is more clearly a small semicircle surrounded by decorative dots. The wings are significantly smaller on this specimen, but still curl in on themselves. The bottom of the Korymbos is visible above the hat, but the orb portion is not visible. We can see the portrait still has a small ear sporting the curious inverted-Y earring, and the rear ribbons are small and tightly spaced behind the ear.</p><p><br /></p><p>The fire altar is barely visible here, but we can still see that the flames are tightly clustered. The bowl and base are smaller and narrower than on the previous coin, and the shaft is much longer. To compensate, the ribbon is also much longer, indicating that the celator was not working on a specific template nor defined parameters for the proportions of the fire altar, but was instructed to make the ribbon sag to the level of the top of the base. The attendant, like the previous coin, is tall, has a long and sharply jointed arm, and wears a herringbone dress that flares out at the bottom to reveal her legs. A large necklace is present here, and the attendant&#039;s head seems to be a tall oval, which probably extends over the border of the die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
