**Symbol D:** The symbol can be identified as the bow with arrow. It occurs once in the middle of an Early Vaṭṭeḻuttu inscription at Sittannavasal-B (No. *101*). The bow with arrow is the insignia of the Cēra dynasty; but there is nothing in this inscription to suggest a connection with the Cēras. The symbol is attested on megalithic pottery.⁸
