https://www.invaluable.com/auction-lot/old-babylonian-clay-cuneiform-tablet-30-c-e9b43308e4?objectID=168531922
Ancient Near East, Mesopotamia, Babylon, Old Babylonian period, ca. early 2nd millennium BCE. A petite, hand-built clay tablet of a rectangular form bearing 13 lines of inscribed cuneiform text. The gently convex faces enabled the writer to carefully yet firmly press a sharpened stick into the malleable clay to create the intricate characters just before being placed inside of a kiln. Cuneiform tablets like this example give us a glimpse into what those in the past held important or what messages they wished to communicate. Lucite display stand for photography purposes only. Size: 1.6" W x 1.875" H (4.1 cm x 4.8 cm)
Provenance: private A.G. collection, Chicago, Illinois, USA, before 2000
