Commentary

First published in IR.
Pictures in Nothdurfter 1979: 100 (9) (drawing), LIR (photo and drawing) = IR (drawing).
The top half of the second Θ s is hardly distinguishable due to corrosion. Possibly followed by a third I s on the right – compare the same row of signs on scythe rings (SZ-44.1 – also dextroverse –, SZ-45.1, SZ-46.1 and possibly SZ-47) and a chisel (also dextroverse).
