Abstract
The piece was found in a tubular capsule (Fig. 23), but nothing more is known about the circumstances of its discovery. Though the casual markings on the tablet yield no sense whatsoever, their seemingly mystic value were enough to impress the owner, for the lamella had been worn as a treasured amulet. A photograph of the intact piece with the capsule is found in Paulovics 1942: pl. 27.
