Notes on support and decorationsNarrow and elongated bronze pendant with upper large hole. One of its face bears the inscription; another face is plain, while the other two are decorated with various compositions of rows of dots, probably representing astral constellations or magic symbols; there is also a probably human schematic figure, with a bird head. The bottom small face shows also a schematic decoration, with oblique parallel lines. It was probably an amulet.
