What is that clay item?
« on: March 19, 2017, 05:45:59 pm »
Dear Members;
I wonder what it could be this clay item?Very unusual clay tablet with archaic forms and curious three holes on the edge-71 x 48 x 16mm
Thanks for all help

I think it is a seal stamp too.  Do any of the holes go right through?  They would be for a cord to wear it around the neck.  Perhaps delete this post and re-post the photo in the seals section.....

The holes didn't go right through.I don't think it's a stamp seal as it's impossible to have impression of the figures...the holes served  ???probably to preserve and holed the" pencils" or any material for writing? ???
thanks for all comments and suggestions +++
