Commentary

Antler point; complete and in a good state of preservation. On the front side an inscription in two lines. The back side is partly sawed through.
Compared to the other antlers of Magrè the present object represents one of the first finds made accidentally by Giovanni Piccoli, a carpenter from Schio, the 10th November, 1912. In consequence of this discovery an official excavation realized by the monument protection service was arranged from where the other pieces of antlers come.
