right handle: unclear imitation letters. B: across the shield of the attacking
warrior at left: (κ)(α)λο(ς). Around the rim of the right fallen warrior's

CAVI Comments: Ex Lucerna Market (A.A.). Ex Aachen, Ludwig. Combination of nonsense and
sense. The letters idiosyncratic and disjointed; hastily written. An alpha with
a square top is most unusual.
