Obv. Lion-headed god to l., head encircled by nimbus with seven double rays; nude except for kilt, from which lower part of body emerges as a serpent making a triple coil. Sword held upright in r. hand, palm frond in l.
Rev. αζαζ αραθ βαχυ. The lapidary started to make a kappa at the beginning of the last word but changed it to beta. There is a short stroke below χ, perhaps the beginning of the final χ of βαχυχ. The same three words are found on the Athenian akephalos jasper published by Delatte, Musée Belge, 18, 39.
Brownish-yellow jasper, clouded with dark brown at bottom of obverse and more extensively on reverse. Roughly circular, 25 Χ 23 Χ 6. Obv. flat, rev. slightly convex. Perforated for thread or wire.
