Description Two lines in excellent preservation. Campus and character sizes are estimated from the photograph.
Decoration Above the legend (which is a mirror image) there is an image of a bull, recumbent to the proper left, with a crescent moon in front of his head. This is separated from the inscription by a straight horizontal line, the ends of which turn up. Below and to the proper left of the text there is a sinuous line probably representing a nāga.
