Commentary

Between the two upper (or lower) strokes of the Andreaskreuz, an additional straight little stroke (compare ...), leading Mayr to read ... in spite of wrongly orientated . Both the stroke closest to the tip of the horn and the triangle which might be read as are connected to the two oblique strokes of the Andreaskreuz in three of four places. Probably non-script or pseudo-script.

On the reverse side right before the breaking edge more scratches, probably of a zig-zag ornament (see drawing).
