CONTEXT
Susanne Berndt-Ersöz, pot mark catalogue #11. Graffito inscribed on a raised band along the body after firing. The left part of the graffiti is missing, and there are two partially preserved vertical lines either belonging to one letter or two, which are followed by A S Ị A. The letter S has several superimposed incised lines, which may be due to a writing error. The letter I has a faint short horizontal line at top, which is not as deep incised as the vertical line, making it uncertain whether a T or I was intended.
