Description
Ca. 1900 BC.
A rectangular-section ceramic tablet bearing cuneiform script. These tablets were small enough to be portable and durable when dried. They also allowed for the transmission of information across time and space. Although different types of scripts and languages could be impressed into the clay using a reed stylus, this method of writing was most often used to create texts in the cuneiform script.
Size: L:77mm / W:39mm ; 90g
Provenance: Property of a UK teacher; formerly acquired from a 1970s/80s UK collection.
