This double sided piece of clay is engraved with cuneiform - the earliest known form of writing on the planet!
Emerging from ancient Sumer in 3200BC, the writer would etch these wet tablets with a stylus made of reed and then typically leave them out to naturally dry. This would allow the ancient author to rehydrate the tablet and recycle it into a blank slate. Important documents would be fired in a kiln to give them permanence.
This specimen is likely one of the world's oldest known examples of writing. Talk about a piece of classic literature! It dates back to 1-2nd millennium BCE and measures ~2.75" x 1.5".
