Ancient Cuneiform Clay Tablet - Mesopotamian Artifact from Early Civilization #3482483 (License: Personal Use)

This terracotta-colored clay tablet features dense rows of wedge-shaped cuneiform script, characteristic of early Mesopotamian civilizations such as Sumer or Akkad (circa 2100-1800 BCE). The surface shows signs of intentional pressing with a stylus, and minor erosion suggests age and burial history. Such tablets were commonly used for economic transactions, temple inventories, legal contracts, or royal decrees.
