Commentary

First published in IR. Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.

Images in IR (drawing) = LIR.

Length of the remains 2.3 cm. Inscribed on top of the rim (bent outward), with upright when looked at from the outside. Of the character to its right, only an angle is left. While it cannot be excluded that the inscription is incomplete, cp. the group of scratchings on Sanzeno bowls discussed sub la, esp. SZ-60.2.
