Commentary
First published in Mayr 1950: 333 (I). Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.
Images in Mayr 1950: 335 (I), Pellegrini 1951: 304 (1b) (photo) and 307 (1b) (drawing), Morandi 1982: 203 (drawing), LIR (photo and drawing = IR).
Inscribed on the back of the bronze, starting from the head, with characters extending over the entire breadth of the object. Length of the entire sequence 9 cm. The second is disturbed by the drilled hole. After the first five characters, which appear to be letters, a hasta with two very faint bars – possibly . The bars extend into the angle of the symbol , followed by five vertical lines (the one closest to the symbol is not closer than the hasta of potential ). Then, a gap of about 1 cm, and another group of verticals and a St. Andrew's cross. Everything from the symbol onwards in surely ornamental; it is not clear whether the letters spell out a word, and if so, where it ends. Cp. enpeθa?, followed by two groups of criss-crossing lines, on SZ-15.2. Seeing as the hole appears to have been drilled after the inscription was applied, but rather before SZ-2.1 was written (where the letters avoid the hole), the inscription on the back may well be a factory mark – note that SZ-15.2 appears on a very similar fish-shaped bronze. The letters could either spell out (part of) a name or other designation, or represent pseudo-script. Pellegrini 1951: 328 suggests a pricemark. Cp. SZ-4.2 / SZ-5.2, also similar bronzes, with the same symbol on the back.
