i wonder if carved cuneiform looks different than cuneiform for soft clay
I can see that they’re imitating the little triangles (which are a natural consequence of the stylus in clay method) on purpose, much as formal western typography is based on quill/brush writing with the thicks and thins
Now, did she give her dad a drinking vessel with the cuneiform equivalent of "World's Greatest Dad" in return?
The way in which the engraving on the rock references the gifting on the rock not only is awesome on its own but also retroactively makes a lot of Dwarf Fortress engravings far more realistic to me.
This is a legendary chalcedony pendant. All craftshumanship is of the highest quality. On the chalcedony pendant is an engraving of the chalcedony pendant. It menaces with spikes of cuneiform.
