| Reference No. | 1936/2/1/14/3 |
| Level | Sub-item |
| Dimensions | 23.9 x 31.5 cm |
| Scope and Content | Card base with one black and white photograph with a rock with an inscription on it at the bottom. A person is holding up something white to block out the back ground: their hands and neck can be seen at the top of the image. The letter c is pasted in the centre of the lower edge of the base. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Seventh-century inscription on one of the sides of the altar (212c), 'I am a drachma for Hera of the White Arms.' This stone originally supported an offering, perhaps a drachma or handful of iron spits (which were the earliest coinage) like those dedicated at the Argive Heraeum, and the Orthia Sanctuary (195)." |
