I'm afraid that also in this case there is no more information I could find on this piece. Below is the link to the L.A. County Museum:

You can see from the link that this tablet is not even on public display. I chose it simply as an illustration to the definition on philology to show a form of writing many people may not be familiar with. Once again, I whole heartedly believe that the more descriptive detail the better but neither should that preclude images which are interesting in their own right. Further, as this is a community site, it is always hoped that readers will contribute their knowledge to extend the depth of information on our pages.

I really dig this site, but some better descriptions to go along with these pictures would be great. For example: what does the tablet say?
