## Lexicon entries here

- [DU-RA-RE](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/DU-RA-RE/index.md>) (durār): dove, swallow (offering bird). Probable.
- [A-ZU-RA](<https://linear-a.ai/lexicon/A-ZU-RA/index.md>) (ʾAṯirat): Athirat (divine name: the Goddess). Candidate.

## Remarks

Text painted in ink in curved registers inside a short conical cup, the signs facing the bottom: it reads upright when the cup is turned over. The last word is damaged. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.

## 3D model

Created at Plasma AI. Template model generated in the browser; texts after the project dossier and GORILA. Glyphs: Noto Sans Linear A (OFL), re-cut stroke by stroke.
