Commentary

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

Pictures in Nothdurfter 1979: 100 (195) (drawing) and LIR (drawing).

See la for possible comparanda on axe heads and elsewhere. As on the inscription on the other side of the object, a bar without inlay can be made out, here slanting from the top end of the rightmost stroke.
