Tile

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Gray stone pillar with a rough, uneven surface. The pillar is rectangular with slightly tapered sides and a rough, broken top. The surface features carved symbols and markings. The symbols appear to be a form of writing, possibly cuneiform, consisting of wedge-shaped characters. The pillar has a flat base with small, illegible text. The background is light grey. The artist and title of the piece is "Tile" by an unknown artist.
