‘Arthur Herschel Lidov (1917-1990) was born in Chicago and earned a degree in Sociology from the University of Chicago in 1936 and was a Graduate Fellow in Art History in 1938 and 1939. As an artist, Lidov was largely self-taught, specialising in scientific and technical graphics. Lidov created the cover art for the 1950 first edition copy of The Martian Chronicle by Ray Bradbury. He contributed artistic backgrounds to many of the major magazines of his time such as Time, Fortune, The Saturday Evening Post and other special-interest magazines.’ image & text from https://poulwebb.blogspot.com/2021/01/fortune-magazine-part-4.html

On a background of light grey photography paper, a small 12.3 mm silver coin (obol) with a tiny flying dove imprint. To the right of the coin, a mechanical pencil with lead point facing up, for scale. Diagonally across the upper left corner, are the reflectors of a photography light.
Oh my goodness, that is tiny - can you make out the dove? I see some microscope photography in my future, but for now here's a quick snap of a pseudo-Sikyonian obol, 12.3 mm diameter, 4th century BCE.
