Commentary

First published in IR. Autopsied by TIR in November 2013.

Pictures in Nothdurfter 1979: 100 (1075) (drawing) and IR (photo tav. XLV, fig. c and drawing = LIR).

Inscription length 5.2 cm. SZ-44.1 differs from the similar inscriptions on scythe rings in that it runs in the opposite direction, as on the chisel and knife. It also features an additional smaller stroke before U2 s and two little crosses inside the U2 s and in between the two I ss, which have been ignored in the reading due to the abovementioned parallels.
