Cuneiform and cylinder seals
#1
Hi,

I thought of bringing a personalized cylinder seal and a cuneiform demo to Plataea next year.  Made a couple of styli from bamboo, about five minutes' work, and plan on getting pottery clay for both the tablets and seal.  Since I don't have a kiln, I figured on pit-firing the seal and giving it some kind of smooth non-fired coating, maybe wax or acrylic varnish.

Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing?  Am I making any mistakes, and is there anything else I should consider?

I ride the winds of fate
Prepared to go where my heart belongs,
Back to the past again.
