cuneiform tablets

3,800 artifacts seized from Hobby Lobby returned to Iraq

The items include cuneiform tablets, cylinder seals, and clay bullae. Many of the tablets come from the ancient city of Irisagrig and date back to 2100-1600 BCE.
US customs officials intercepted most of the artifacts that were smuggled into the US via the UAE and Israel in packages shipped to an Oklahoma-based company.
