## Remarks

A bronze votive object from Arkhanes with one engraved line: JA-KI-SI-KI-NU · MI-DA-RU-RA ·, each word followed by a divider. The second word is RILA's reading; GORILA read MI-DA-MA-RA₂. The record gives only a bronze votive; the stand-in is a thin bronze sheet with the line engraved across it, and its form and size are not taken from the original. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model
