This student exercise has been completely destroyed. A rectangular tablet with a blank face that is extremely rough to the touch. The inscribed face and edges of the tablet are slightly uneven, but only in comparison to the blank face. There are three long scratches across the blank face that seem to have been made when the clay was still soft and pliable. There are folds and wrinkles in the clay that also appear to have been made when the clay was still soft and fresh. There are some other minor surface flaws on this face as well as on the rest of the tablet. On the inscribed face, there are two incomplete cracks that threaten to split it apart. There is one deep pit-like loss on this face, possibly caused by a sharp tool. There are also some minor losses to two of the corners which add to its overall worn appearance. Small white concretions can be seen throughout its surface. https://cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_results.php?SearchMode=Text&ObjectID=P388315 https://oac.cdlib.org/findaid/ark:/13030/kt0t1nf169/ https://ucla.box.com/s/90d62jytehlqg904uk8pot2hdbko4ok8
