Description
Clay tablet no. 4 (about 1 ½ x 1 ½ x ¼”): “Found at Jokha, the ruin of the ancient Umma in Central Babylonia. A record of the temple transactions. After the tablet was written, and while the clay was still soft, the temple scribe rolled over the entire tablet his cylindrical stone seal, and the seal impression made it impossible to change the record. The seal impression bears the figure of a seated deity and of a standing priest. It is dated on the back about 2300 B.C.” (seller's description).
