Interpretation

- The inscription is carved on a limestone bowl with short handles at the base and (broken off) at the rim: diameter at the rim is 16 cms, at the base is 12 cms, and it is 9.5 cms high. The text is on the inside of the bowl near the rim. The name is carved a long way from the rest of the text and it is possible that the two do not belong together. There is space for a letter between ts²wq and ʾl and, on some of the photographs, a very faint t can be seen there. For another inscription on this bowl by a woman with the same name see Damascus Museum 21039.6
