Part of a Neo-Assyrian clay tablet: containing 4 columns + 3 lines of inscription written in cuneiform. This is a fragment of the standard list of Late Assyrian cuneiform signs, Syllabary A, with fanciful drawings of the pictures which the scribe imagined to be the original forms of the signs. The pictures which he draws do not correspond to the signs found on the earliest tablets from Uruk.
