Description: This replica is a faithful reproduction of an ancient Sumerian tablet, originally crafted around 1800 BCE during the Amorite Dynasties. The tablet recounts the tragic story of the fall of Ur through 11 lamentations, depicting both earthly and celestial sorrow. The goddess Ningal, protector of Ur, is portrayed as a supplicant before the great gods, who are bound to carry out the decrees of Fate. The calamity is eventually reversed, and what remains of the disaster is metaphorically "hung on a nail" in front of the temple of Enlil. While this replica closely mirrors the original, it is not an exact copy. The handmade nature of this piece may result in slight variations, giving it a distinct character while preserving the essence of the ancient text. Dimensions: Height: 24.5 cm; Thickness: 4 cm; Width: 13.6 cm. Material: Raw clay. Writing: Sumerian, cuneiform script. This replica is an exceptional piece for collectors and enthusiasts of ancient Mesopotamian culture, offering a tangible connection to one of history’s most poignant laments.
