PLATE 3

Old Persian Cuneiform

Enjoy using the artistry of this 5th and 6th century BC cuneiform script. Created by order of King Darius, this was the language of royal inscriptions, 'the king's language'. Each symbol has been arranged on the plate with its phonetic equivalent. It can either be stamped as a large background or cut apart into separate letters. This plate also includes a stone tablet, the King Darius inscription at Persepolis, and logograms, including those of king and Auramazdaha (deity).
