As Tim said on the yahoo group:

 

 

Here we have some more 'hieroglyfics' from artefactsuck

The item is clearly a spindle whorl, but Eftis doesn't seem to have identified it as such.

It's not a 'stone cone pendant'. 

It's not 'perforated along its length for attachment to a necklace or bracelet'. 

And those aren't hieroglyphs. 

Or 'hieroglyfics'.

 





.

Quite difficult to understand how such "experts" and Bonhams thought  these scrathings tp be hieroglyphs.



.

Fairly clearly it's meant to be cuneiform writing.

But it's fake writing all the same.

 

Some similar ones with false cuneiform writting horizonatally around the whorl were on the market a few years ago.

This is not an easy one to decide about.

 




.

Many signs look OK, but no apparent sense can be made of it.

The script resembles or imitates the Ur III period. 

 

 



.

Also, sign U3 occurs rather frequently but this is not common in Sumerian, especially in administrative tablets.
