Notes on support and decorations | The inscription is framed by two lateral symbols: on the left there is the symbol of the god Nakraḥ, on the right there is a symbol that the editors describe as a kind of fork with several teeth. We cannot exclude that it represents an arm with hand, placed perpendicularly on a horizontal line, such as the symbol on Maʿīn 82. |
