It's looks like cuneiform...you need someone who speaks the mesoptamian dialects like Sumerian. Could be Akkadian and there is another, but can't remember the name. Probably worth a lot because of its age. Pretty cool!

Beep is right. It definitely resembles an ancient Mesopotamian cuneiform clay tablet, as shown below. Perhaps it's a cast bronze replica of one.

No no..it is original.The person who bring this inscription to me was a villager.he is not able to do replica one)

I always thought that Cunieform tablets were made of clay and were inscribed with a sharp stick.

Kind of tough to do one on brass even with the sharpest of stick.

I am definitely not a professional. So don't go on my assumption. The information provided has been from what I've read, heard or the search I'm doing on the internet.

I'm simply feeding you some information in trying to narrow down the origins of your item.

I am hoping that it is an artifact and perhaps someone here will find some good solid information for you.

I rarely agree with PBK as he hardly ever gets it right but I would say its a good theory. I have never seen or heard of a bronze/brass Mesopotamian tablet. But I've been wrong many times before.

Maybe a scale off a military uniform.I would have a professional look at it.

Could it be a seal of some type? Although the inscription is not raised. To be rolled on clay, etc.
Just a guess.

cuneiform Writing . By 3200 B.C., the Sumerians had invented the earliest known form of writing called cuneiform, a system of writing about as old as Egyptian hieroglyphics. The Sumerians employed a sharp-pointed instrument- called a stylus - to inscribe wedge-shaped characters on soft clay tablets, which were then hardened by baking. Reading and writing in cuneiform were difficult because the Sumerian alphabet consisted of about 550 characters. Sumerian scribes had to go through years of strict schooling to acquire their skills. Nevertheless, cuneiform was widely used in the Middle East for thousands of years.

The Sumerians had the first known cuniform tablets, but the script isn't Sumerian. I don't recognize it, but the internet is a great research tool, I'm sure you could track that down and ID it.
