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)
b) Varbanov (engl.) cf. 3774 (cites AMNG 1834, but has different legends)
c) Hristova/Hoeft/Jekov (2018) No. 8.25.3.4
rare, F/about VF, some roughness
The figure can be Hera or Demeter, but the object in the r. hand looks rather like a patera than grain-
ears.
