State of Preservation | Consists of two joining fragments today. Today 5 lines are preserved, while the inventory book notes 9 lines. Also the handdrawing provided there shows that the lower part of the ostracon got lost after entering the collection. The vertical break between the two remaining fragments is recent (possibly from 1945?), because it has damaged the inventory number. |
