Archaeological description
Wolff and Finkielsztejn 2009: Dimensions: 5.3 × 5.8 × 0.8 cm. Weight: 216.52 g. Obverse: Thick frame of schematic eggs (half outlined dots) separated by beads (most of the frame is worn). The inner field is divided in three parts: Palm branch to left, (Winged?) club to right, ΑΟ̣Ρ̣. The second letter cannot be read as a delta because it is clear that there is no line at the bottom; the bar of the alpha is faint but most probably there. In any case, it cannot be a lambda in the context of a date. Although the upper loop of the rho is faint, the reading is not in doubt. There seems to be a circular sign at the end of the line but it is not clear at all. There is no sign of a lug on any side. Reverse: Large sign of Tanit on a network of lozenges. No frame.
