Only 4 days late for the Pixel Dailies’ baked' theme. A stamped and baked clay brick. The stamp shows the 'mushhushshu' dragon with the emblems of Marduk and Nabu on its back. Found in Nimrud, in Iraq. Dated to 630-627 BCE. Currently held in the British Museum, but not on display. First theme I’ve been inspired to do in a decent while.

[img ID: Pixel art of a worn, square, clay brick with a broken corner, coloured in shades of yellow, orange, and brown. In the middle of the the brick is a square showing a four-legged creature with a long tail, carrying two indistinct emblems on its back. /ID]
