INRI is an acronym of Latin IESVS·NAZARENVS·REX·IVDÆORVM, which translates to "Jesus Nazarene, King of the Jews."

I can't help you on the Watts name.

Art is not an object.  It is the excitement inspired by the object.

Looks like one person did most of the engraving then another signed the barrel.
