Commentary

First published in Schumacher 2004: 323.

Pictures in Steiner & Gamper 1999b: 133 (photo) and Schumacher 2004: Taf. 13,1 (drawing).

Length 5.8 cm. Tidily scratched on the "front" of the bone point, which has a horizontal central ridge; the hastae are accordingly made up of two scratches each. Only the second Χ s features a doubtful second bar on the left. The separators are repeatedly scratched.

For the sequence lumene·χa, cp. VN-10. I sI sI sI sΘ sI sΧ s is a non-script group reminiscent of the sequence, though inverted, on VN-5.1 / VN-6.
