Zeus Serapis seated on a high-backed throne in profile to the left; at his feet the dog Kerberos. Separis holds a long sceptre in his left hand and extends his right hand to the goddess Isis who stands before him. The goddess supports a tall torch in her right hand and holds three ears of corn in her left. Separis is crowned with the kalathos, while Isis wears the lotus-bud diadem placed forward on her brow; her head seems to be veiled. reverse: inscription of various letters and symbols.
