A few weeks later....

And a week later... an endless supply!

And yet more a further ten days later.

As before, all with "Copy" written in cuneiform on the sides.

They are all by the same hand: the same person creating them.

But I doubt that the seller, Mr Schumann, realises that the maker is marking them as copies. After all, he sells them with the comments below which neglects to mention that they are brand new!

This ancient Sumerian cuneiform clay tablet is a true treasure for any collector or history enthusiast. The tablet features intricately carved symbols and writing that dates back thousands of years, providing a fascinating glimpse into the lives and beliefs of the ancient Sumerians. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, this Sumerian clay tablet is an excellent addition to any collection. Its unique historical significance and beautiful craftsmanship make it a must-have for anyone interested in the ancient world. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history - add this incredible artifact to your collection today!

This seller in Dubai sells many poorly made fake 'ancient " artefacts and some very well made ones. See this section also for his offerings on eBay and also here

But here we are looking at his "cuneiform tablets".

You might think that few people would fall for an  utterly ridiculous creation such as this. But one unlucky eBayer who clearly knows absolutely nothing about the subject is the proud duped owner now.

Or this! Surely anyone wanting to acquire a Proto-cuneiform tablet would have discovered by a very easy search online that little figures like these, seemingly wearing modern clothing, simply don't exist in the repertoire of Proto-cuneiform signs!

Some this seller offers have accretions on them. This is done to make them look "ancient". Though it actually doesn't really look like the salty exudates that are found on many cuneiform tablets.

For example.....

Here, above, the faker has managed to partially copy real cuneiform signs but the way the stylus wedges are made also gives the game away.

And this one below, also with fake accretions on it is total nonsense: there are no groups of wedges which are anywhere near genuine ciuneiform signs.
