Interpretation

Commentary
There is a deeper incised mark cuttng across the third w and the letter before and after it. It might have been added to spoil the inscription or it might have been intended to change the w into a t. There is a line inscribed under the last part of the inscription perhaps as a partial cartouche. See KI file.
