Female figure in long garment and mantle, veiled, stg. facing, head r., r. hand in fold of mantle before
body, holding in lowered l. hand unidentified object lookinh like a big loop (bridle?)
ref. a) not in AMNG
cf. AMNG I/1 1246 (different rev. legend, different object!)

The figure on the reverse is named:
Nemesis with bridle (by Pick)
Isis with hydria (by Varbanov)
Asklepios with snake-stuff (by Hristova/Jekov)
I think there were two different types confused.
