Altbabylonisch Ton Kleine Keilschrifttafel (Ohne Mindestpreis)
A small clay writing tablet dating to the Old Babylonian period. The piece displays cuneiform inscriptions on the obverse and some sides; however some of the script has faded due to age. General signs of deterioration to the surface consistent with age. Cracks to the reverse that have been repaired.
Cuneiform writing was one of the earliest forms of writing, developed in the ancient lands of Mesopotamia. Babylonian society was a complex social structure and had a need, as we do today, to record such things as temple acquisitions, land transactions, financial loans, as well as their epic stories and personal letters. They would write these documents and letters on a wet clay tablet, which was then dried.
