## Remarks

Account from the Casa, Room 7 (Scribe 7). After KI-RO (“owed”) come six entries of 1, and KU-RO (“total”) closes them at exactly 6. The original is a clay tablet, nearly intact (5.8 × 7.0 × 0.9 cm); so the Haghia Triada accounts don't all look alike, this stand-in carries its text painted in ink on the rim fragment of a wheel-made jar. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model
