Hera, in long garment and with mantle, stg. l., holding patera in extended r. hand and resting
with l. hand on sceptre
ref. a) cf. AMNG I/1, 1834 (rev. only, legend unknown, but this type is known for some strange legend
arrangements)

The figure can be Hera or Demeter, but the object in the r. hand looks rather like a patera than grain-
ears.
