Mesopotamia & Near East
Figurine of Ishtar 2,000 BC

Price:
£60.00 / $110.40
Neo-Babylonian Clay Tablet, 560BC
This cuneiform tablet is fascinating in that it constitutes one of the earliest known written official/legal contracts. It is written by a former slave owner, conferring freedom on a slave and her family in perpetuity.
The really interesting part are the curses and threats to anyone attempting to re-enslave her or her family. They knew how to threaten in those days!
Price:
£22.00 / $40.48
