Royal Cuneiform Brick of Nebuchadnezzar - 600 BC
This is a very important 2.500+ year old Mesopotamian terracotta cuneiform brick. This skillfully inscribed ancient cuneiform brick is an important piece of ancient Mesopotamian history. Dedications in the form of cuneiform bricks left in religious temples was common in ancient Mesopotamia. This is a very important piece of ancient Babylonian history from the greatest and most powerful of all the Babylonian kings, Nebuchadnezzar. This brick measures approximately 8.25 inches(21.5 cm) X 5.5 inches(14 cm) And comes with a translation of the inscription by the esteemed Prof. W. G. Lambert from Birmingham University, England, author and lecturer on ancient Middle Eastern studies. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly important piece of ancient history. The face, presented herein, is cut from the bulk of the brick, else intact. Superb! The ... moreinsdcription reads as follows: Nebuchadnezzar. King of Babylon, provisioner of Esagil and Esida, prime son of Nabopolassar, King of Babylon am I, Ebabbara the temple of Shamash in Larsa, I restored as it was before for Shamash my Lord. Background: Nebuchadnezzar. King of Babylon(c. 605-562 BC) son and successor of Nabopolassar. In his father's reign he was sent to oppose the Egyptians, who were occupying W Syria and Palestine. At Carchemish he met and defeated Pharoah Necho in 605 BC, thus becoming the undisputed master of Western Asia. The sudden death of his father caused Nebuchadnezzar to return home to safeguard his inheritance, permitting Necho to escape to Egypt with part of his army. Three years later(601 BC) Necho defeated Nebuchadnezzar in battle. This event may have encouraged the Judaean revolt under Jehoiakim. Jehoiakim died shortly after the seige began and was succeeded by his son, Jehoiachin. In March 597 BC, Nebuchadnezzar crushed the revolt and carried off the young Jehoiachin and many of his nobles to Babylon. He then placed the puppet king Zedekiah on the throne of Judaea. A new revolt occurred(588-587 BC) in Judaea. After a seige of about a year, Jeru

The pharmacopoeia is believed to be the first known documentation of aspirin.Aloe vera and opium,demonstrating a sophistication and level of medical knowledge equivalent to that in 17th Century England. It appears to be made of some type of slate.It is 9.5cms wide and 15.5cms long.Weight 231 grams. The tablet has a number of small chips down one side and a chip to a corner. I think it has been cut in too at sometime there should be writing on both sides of tablet. Would make an interesting teaching aid.

5 Old Babylonian Terracotta Cuneiform Tablet (Hellenistic, Roman, Byzantine)
5 Cuneiform tablats from olld coll. in Israel(1960-1980) 1700-2000 B.C. They were examined by Marcel Sigrist and were 100% authentic. They will send only after receiving confirmation of the sale and export of IAA. The oldest known written language. Cuneiform, first used by the ancient peoples of the Near East over 5000 years ago, is composed of a series of wedge-shaped incisions made with a sharpened reed stylus. This script was adopted by all the major civilizations of Mesopotamia for recording their distinct languages, including the Sumerians, Akkadians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. Clay tablets were the preferred media for everyday writing because they could either be easily recycled or, if a permanent record was required, fired in a kiln and preserved. The earliest recorded inscriptions are not myths of histories, but rather banal economic ... moretransactions and accounting documents. Later, one of the most famous written works of the ancient world, Hammurabi’s code, was recorded in the cuneiform script. While these marks may appear obscure and mysterious to our eyes, scholars have made much progress in deciphering cuneiform after discovering inscriptions on the Behistun Rock, a cliff in western Iran. Much like the Rosetta Stone, the Behistun Inscription contained the same text written in three different languages(Persian, Babylonian, and Elamite) all of which utilized the cuneiform system of writing. Due to the resemblance of these languages to modern ones, scholars were able to crack to code. This terracotta tablet reveals just how intricate a system of writing cuneiform was. In the hands of a talented scribe. A remarkable amount of information could be squeezed into a relatively small space and yet still remain legible. Both the front and back of this tablet have been written on, containing a total of fourteen lines of text. Like most tablets that survive, the text relates to administrative matters. Inscribed during to the reign of Ammi-ditana, King of Babylon, this fascinating tablet is precisely dated to the

Clay candle holder with a cuneiform inscription in Old Babylonian
This is an original piece hand-made by me. It is neither an antiquity nor a copy of one. The shape is inspired by ancient Near Eastern pottery. The inscription in Old Babylonian says: Let the fire be lit. Let Girra shine, let there be light! Girra was the Mesopotamian god of fire) I made this piece back in 2011 from a very nice clay I dug up at local sandpit. It is very dense with a content of mica and has a really nice smell to it when fired. I had to swap for a less attractive processed clay later due to firing problems with a new batch, but this piece is still made of the nice old stuff. It is fired with wood in a stone kiln I built with my girlfriend, so it is hand made in every aspect of the process: the wood being also collected by us while working in a forest: My signature in cuneiform is at the bottom. The inner diameter of the neck ... moreis 3.7 cm = 1.5' I will enclose paper with transliteration. Transcription, translation and some basic information about the language etc.

Two cuneiform tablets - Ex. Tullett Coll., please see description before bidding
Two cuneiform clay tablets. The one which appears to be whole is either very heavily restored or a forgery. 4.4 x 3.8 cms; if it is restored, it uses a duplication of the text from one side to create the same text on the back. The second example is roughly 3.2 cms but utterly crumbled/eroded within the plastic folder- beyond help in my opinion but I could not bear to throw away something like this and only hope it may be of use as a study aid to someone. The crumbled example has a dealer's ticket from George Lambor, a respected and well-liked dealer active in the 1960's-1980's in the UK(and co-founder of the Antiquities Dealers Association) Both tablets come from the Dorset-based collection of the late Ken Tullett, actively collecting a vast array of smaller objects during the 1970's-80's. This lot is part of a clearance ... moreof oddities and ecclectic objects accumulated over the past couple of years by Helios Gallery Antiquities. These items were acquired with various auction purchases in the UK. Europe and the US, usually as part of a lot containing something we wanted for our main website.

Ancient Near Eastern Tablet with Cuneiform scripture (800-1000 BC)
A Near Eastern Tablet with Cuneiform Scriptures. Circa 800-1000 BC. Measuring 4 1/8“ x 2 3/8” x ¾” Approx. This Piece showcase an excellent example of ancient writing(Not translated) I bought this piece in 2011 from a Brazilian archaeologist. Historian and Egyptologist, who is the person responsible for the construction of the Neo-Mamluk Complex in Rio: Al-Sultaniyya Cultural Complex and the Archaeological Museum of Mankind. Per the Professor description. This piece is in good and stable condition, but partially eroded in some parts of its surface and borders with small chips, and very worn, certainly due to the age/atmospheric conditions. This piece belonged to a private collector in Rio de Janeiro. As part of a collection of items purchase in Damascus in 1923 and brought to Rome afterwards, and to RJ in the 1950’s. Cuneiform is known ... moreas one of the earliest system of writing. Is a system of writing first developed by the ancient Sumerians of Mesopotamia circa 3500-3000 BCE. It is considered the most significant among the many cultural contributions of the Sumerians. The name comes from the Latin word cuneus for'wedge' owing to the wedge-shaped style of writing. In cuneiform. A carefully cut writing implement known as a stylus is pressed into soft clay to produce wedge-like impressions that represent word-signs(pictographs) All of the great Mesopotamian civilizations used cuneiform(the Sumerians, Akkadians, Babylonians, Elamites, Assyrians, Hurrians and others) until it was abandoned in favor of the alphabetic script in the course of the Roman era. I am a collector with over 20 years of experience in the hobby; I have acquired many interested pieces around the world. Anywhere from private collections to highly known auction houses. But now I have reached the time on my life on which I have to start setting up my retirement. So I have taken the tough decision to depart with some pieces of my collection and let a new owner enjoy them as I did. During the next couple of moths I will be placing more of m

Ancient Cuneiform Temple Brick section from Nebuchadnezzar II Circa 560 BC
This is an inscription cut from a building brick. The whole brick was much larger and this is only the stamped inscription. I purchased five of these about ten years ago. I only have two left.

Provisioner of Esagil and Ezida. Prime son of Nabopolassar. King of Babylon and Ebabbara, the temple of Shamash. In Larsa.restored as it was before. For Shamash. My Lord" The inscription is shallow and is best view with cross lighting. I just took some quick pictures. But I think it clearly represents what the brick looks like. The brick section is unbroken and has no repairs. If you purchase this and are not completely happy. I accept returns for any reason. ... moreJust notify me within 7 days.
