Commentary

Pour les bronzes de cette classe I, les seuls exemplaires répertoriés par S. Scheers sont ceux de la BN et les deux de Lumigny. L’animal du revers est décrit comme étant un sanglier, “d’après les soies” ; S. Scheers reste prudente sur son interprétation, tandis que les auteurs du Nouvel Atlas mentionnent “une proie (?)”.
For the bronzes of this class I, the only examples listed by S. Scheers are those of the BN and the two from Lumigny. The animal on the reverse is described as being a wild boar, “according to the silks”; S. Scheers remains cautious about her interpretation, while the authors of the New Atlas mention “a prey (?)”
