Examples of the writing system are artistic representations of a

smith's/artisan's repertoire, in a smithy/mint.

 

 

 

Examples of continuity of the ligaturing artistic style are also

Paris. An elegantly coiffed, exquisitely-dressed and well fanned

Elamite

woman sits on a lion footed stool winding thread on a spindle. This

five-inch fragment is dated 8th century BC. It was molded and carved

from a

mix of bitumen, ground calcite, and quartz. The Elamites used

bitumen, a

naturally occurring mineral pitch, or asphalt, for vessels,

sculpture, glue,

caulking, and waterproofing. http://www.oznet.net/iran/elamspin.htm
