I wonder whether that's the chape whose inscription is read

mariha aala makija

by Looijenga. He says:

On one side of the chape is mariha; when turning the
object halfway round, the inscription proceeds on the same
side with aala. The initial a is a Sturzrune (upside-down
rune) in my opinion, but most runologists read i. On the
other side of the object is makija. Antonsen's reading
(1975:32) marida cannot be right, as there is quite
clearly an h and no d.
