Sumerian Cuneiform “Atlantis” (Hand Carved)
By Michael Breckenridge
Accession No.: 2006020505
Composition: Hand Carved Hawaiian Koa Wood
Dimensions: 5.75 inches wide
Description: In ancient times, a Sumerian artisan used a stylus to impress cuneiform characters into clay tablets - permanent recordings of royal accounting, inventory lists, genealogies as well as news and history. The cuneiform tablet used as the basis for this piece is the earliest known reference to the fabled island nation of Atlantis. The hand-carved cuneiform inscription of the word Atlantis is written in the ancient Sumerian language. The symbols spell out the Sumerian syllables NI-DUK-KI. A Sumerian artisan used a stylus to impress the original into a clay tablet over 5,000 years ago. My version is a bas relief sculpture hand-carved from koa wood. The symbols are highlighted by fire-distressed pickling and an ultra-silky semi-gloss finish. It’s the perfect size to sit on your desk or shelf.
