Athena with not lyre
« on: September 20, 2021, 06:54:20 am »
6.05g 11mm
athena on one side wearing helmet pushed back, beautiful detail there
lyre shape, N lambda on one side. I ? P on the other , although it is a bit high not centred like the others from kolophon

there is a distinct comb like shape a 6 what could be a facing helmut directly above and another mirrored shape at 12

other similar option is ear of wheat but ...

anyone seem something similar to put im in the right direction
the multiple colours does not help as there is corrosion below the outside shell
thanks
