Uruk Storehouse Receipt: A Cylinder Seal Pressed into Wet Clay
Uruk Storehouse Receipt: A Cylinder Seal Pressed into Wet Clay
Inside a dim mudbrick storeroom, a scribe crouches near the doorway making quick proto-cuneiform notations on a small clay tablet while a porter holds a rope-tied basket. A supervisor’s hand (mostly out of frame) presses a carved cylinder seal across a fresh lump of wet clay used to secure a cord—an ordinary receipt step before the basket is carried deeper inside. Dust hangs in the air; the scene is cramped, partially blocked by a leaning stack of baskets and a clay jar at the edge of the frame.
