«Item number: 7355648527
Sumerian messenger tablet with 19 lines of cuneiform incised by a most accomplished scribe, and dated by him.
the messenger service was used to convey information between the various palaces and administrative centres of the ur dynasty.
Almost jewel-like quality and clarity of text : see photos.
dated : from umma, the 14th day of the 11th month of the year in which 'the boat of enki was caulked'.
not often can you state that an antiquity is precisely 4041 Nears old, and identify the day on which it was made!!
32mm x 26mm in fine condition. sold with a fitted box from charles ede limited, brook street, london.»
