# PH Wa 52 A Linear A inscription carved again in 3D: clay nodule from Phaistos. - Object: Clay nodule - Site: Phaistos - Period: MM II - Edition: GORILA II ## Text 1. [VIN]() ## Proposed translation wine ## Lexicon entries here - [VIN](): wayn 'wine'. Probable. ## Remarks A clay nodule from Phaistos, from the Middle Minoan II archives, among the earliest objects written in Linear A: one sign, VIN, “wine”, labelling what was sealed. The record gives only a nodule; the stand-in is a small lump of clay with a seal pressed into one face and the sign scratched on the other, and the seal's design, the lump's shape and its size are its own. 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. --- Page: https://linear-a.ai/inscriptions/tpl-ph-wa-52/ Licence: CC BY 4.0 for the translations and commentary; the corpus keeps its sources’ terms, SigLA’s records CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Cite as: di Mino, Tom. 2026.
