Pictures in IR (photo tav. XLI, fig. a and drawing) = LIR (photo and drawing).
The presence of the rivetted rim before k suggests that this fragment bears the beginning of the inscription.
The signs are struck from what was apparently the inside of the situla, and are usually read from this side, even though dextroverse inscriptions are unusual. It is unlikely that the strokes would have been visible on the outside of the vessel even in the absence of copper rust. (Compare, however, IT-5 where the positive side seems to have been the face side.) This raises the question of when and why the signs were written. It is generally assumed that the inscription was applied secondarily: The situla was dismantled and inscribed, possibly for votive purposes, on what had been the inside, apparently making use of two decorative lines as a frame for the letters.
