Sorry this item has sold An interesting baked clay cuneiform tablet with two sides of clear and extensive text. The area of loss to one side of the repair appears to reveal the corner of an enclosed rectangular tablet which strongly suggests that this is an "envelope" with a further concealed letter within which has never been extracted or read since it was written. Mesopotamia, early 2nd Millennium BC Repair and some areas of loss as seen in the photographs. Size: 7.7 x 4.6 cms Ex. private collection, Cambridge, UK. Acquired 1950's.
