1According to the collation of J. Novotny, the -[man-MAŠ] is curiously absent just at the spot where the now-missing handle had joined the lion. So -man-MAŠ was not visible when the object was complete (with handle). This may suggest that the lion was inscribed before the handle was attached to the weight.
