This partially broken clay tablet is the first tablet of Maqlu (Akkadian, which means burning), the Akkadian series of incantation. These spells were directed against demons and witches. The spells involved the manufacturer of wax figurines; these will then be burned in certain ceremonies. From the library of Ashurbanipal at Nineveh (modern-day Ninawa Governorate, Iraq), northern Mesopotamia. Neo-Assyrian period, 7th century BCE. (The British Museum, London).
