# KN Zb 36

A Linear A inscription carved again in 3D: clay jar from Knossos.

- Object: Clay jar
- Site: Knossos
- Edition: GORILA IV

## Text

1. [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>)

## Proposed translation

wine

## Lexicon entries here

- [VIN](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/VIN/index.md>): wayn 'wine'. Probable.

## Remarks

One sign on a clay vessel from Knossos: VIN, “wine”, a label for what the vessel held. KN Zb 37 and KN Zb 38 carry the same sign. The record gives only a clay vessel; as GORILA's Zb class (incised on clay) suggests, the stand-in has the sign cut into the shoulder of a small storage jar, whose shape and size are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model
