«430. No. 3 Found at Jokha/Umma. A rare messenger tablet with a list of provisions supplied the temple messenger for the journey, as bread, dates, oil, wine, etc. It was his expense allowance. The messenger tablets are very highly prized, for the writing upon them is finer and better than upon tablets of any other type. 29x27x14mm. Ur III period, dated ca. 2050 B.C. $375
