A clay tablet with a cuneiform inscription. The tablet comes from the library of Assurbanipal in Nineveh (669-627 BC). The text covers in column I appearances of Sin, the moon, and other celestial bodies. The predictions to be derived from this are summarized in columns II and III. The text is probably a commentary on the large series with astrological omina entitled Enuma Anu Enlil, When Anu (en) Enlil, which included more than 90 tablets. The drilled clay tablet is provided with a sludge layer of fine clay, in which the miniscule cuneiform signs come out sharp. The round holes promoted an even drying of the clay core., Inscription, pottery, clay, L 9.5 cm, B 8 cm, Neo Assyrian Period 668-626 BC, Iraq.
