WF 139

Visually, the obverse of the tablet (top image) shows a small, cushion-shaped Early Dynastic clay tablet with cuneiform signs pressed in a roughly gridded layout across five to six horizontal registers. The wedge impressions are moderately clear in the upper portion but become somewhat worn and compressed in the lower registers. I can tentatively identify sign clusters consistent with numeric notations in the upper left, and sign groupings plausible for the personal names listed in the transliteration (e.g., UR, EN-KI, DUMU). The lower registers are harder to read photographically due to surface wear and the angle of light. The reverse (bottom image) appears blank or nearly uninscribed, consistent with the single-face format of many early administrative tablets from Fara; the museum number 12633 is written in ink on the edge. The transliteration provided aligns broadly with what can be discerned photographically — numeric signs in the first line, followed by a commodity term, then personal names — but I cannot independently verify every sign from this photograph alone, particularly the precise readings of giri3-ni-ba-dab5 and the final lines. The term 'aktum2' is a known early textile term. 'an-da-tuku' is a standard early Sumerian phrase for possession or receipt. 'nu-zu' at the end is anomalous and could indicate an administrative notation of non-acknowledgment or a personal name element; cannot resolve from photo alone.
