Pillar 2 contains two groups of designs plus a series of numbers on the base. It does not use traditional alphanumeric representations for the main codes.
Geometric Code
The top code is a grid of geometric shapes. These are shown in a grid of 5 rows by 26 columns. There are 26 discrete symbols. A small number of symbols have what appear to be manufacturing defects - small circles attached to other circles - for more info, see the combined photograph.
I have given each symbol a letter so that they can be represented here:

Cog Code
I'm somewhat at a loss even to translate this code into alphanumerical digits. The variables of the cog-glyphs are: number of internal dots, number of cog teeth (or number of quadrants covered by teeth), and angle. Please look at the image and see if you can advise how to transcribe this into text.
