The obverse decorate with two helmeted nude warriors holding spears and shields, The bird between them is apparently a token of victory rather than ill-omened, as it flies toward the presumed winner, whom Nike approaches to deck with a celebratory fillet for the victor. She wears a belted peplos. Reverse has two draped standing figures.  Both scenes are on a on a key pattern ground line and there are laurel leaves in a band under rim.
