Commentary
Not previously published. Autopsied by TIR in July 2014.
Image in Tischer 2006: 215, fig. 13 (photo), MLR (photo).
Length about 3.5 cm. Despite the unambiguous , possibly non- or pseudo-script. The two vertical scratches on both sides of the St. Andrew's cross are very close to the latter, suggesting the shape of the "butterfly San" 
characteristic of Lepontic. Cp. SR-11, also on a ciottolone. See Non-script notational systems for a discussion of possible interpretations of inscriptions with doubtful status.
