Commentary

Not previously published. Autopsied by TIR on 14th October 2015.

Inscribed on the narrow bottom of the beaker, the top of the character pointing towards the foot. The character takes up the entire breadth of the bottom. Only the upper part including both bars is left of V d. The former presence of Ś3 d or Ś d in the missing area to the left may be conjectured. The sequence is most probably a local workman's mark. Cp. AS-19.2, AS-20, AS-21 and AS-23, and the other instances on the present object.
