View translationClay Akkadian Cuneiform Tablet with Spanish Export License Tablet
No. 85164603
A very rare lenticular clay tablet with cuneiform writting. It was used to help scribes learn to write the Sumerian and Akkadian languages using the triangle-like cuneiform (literally, "wedge-shaped") script. To learn a word or sign, the teacher would write the form on the obverse, and the student would then repeat the exercise on the reverse. Such exercises were often completed on tablets that were small and round, easily fitting into the palm of a hand. | Akkadian writting can be seen in one side, the other side is covered with earthen deposits. | 14th-13th Century B.C.
Dimensions: 7,70 x 7,50 cm.
Condition: Surface wear and earthen adhessions. Material losses on the top ( see pictures ). Fine condition
