Pux neck.

Just a comment.

PUX could be french,latin,greek,old greek,pre-greek.

Seen some entry that there is a small muscle beneath the shoulder blade dont know if it is related to trapezus in entry in puxol.

seen also some entry that a shoulder muscle becoming a neck.

Or maybe PUX is a mint mark or mint like an entry or town PUX.

or a name of engraver.

Just a comment.

That is definitely REX - the bottom right part of the R is 'floating free' and detached from the main letter. As for the E you can just make out the three serif ends, each forming a tiny triangle which all touch each other. It does look rather like PUX but it is REX.
