Bronzen tableau met Oskisch geschrift before 1874

This photograph by Stephen Thompson, taken before 1874, depicts a bronze tablet with Oscan inscription. The tablet, measuring 258 mm in height and 180 mm in width, is suspended from a metal chain and ring. The inscription, carved into the surface of the tablet, is likely a legal or religious document, providing insight into the culture and language of the ancient Oscan people. The image captures the inscription with remarkable clarity, offering valuable historical documentation.
