This clay tablet records several inscriptions found on an old lapis lazuli cylinder seal. The seal had belonged first to the Kassite king Shagarakti-Shuriash (reigned 1245-1233 BCE) in Babylon. It was taken to Assyria; later it was returned to Babylon, where it was rediscovered by the Assyrian king Sennacherib (reigned 708-681 BCE). Probably 689 BCE. From Nineveh, Mesopotamia, modern-day Iraq. (British Museum, London)
