Inscribed objects are items that have been marked or engraved with text, symbols, or designs. These inscriptions can provide valuable information about the object's origin, purpose, or the culture that created it. Common examples include ancient coins, tombstones, and ceramic pottery. The practice of inscribing objects dates back thousands of years and has been used in various civilizations, such as the Egyptians and Greeks. Inscribed objects serve as important historical artifacts, helping researchers understand language, art, and societal values of the time.
