Ancient Writing Tool

Wax tablets were widely used in antiquity as a reusable writing medium. They consisted of thin wooden boards with a recessed surface filled with wax, often coloured. Writing was done with a stylus — a pointed end for incising letters and a flattened end for smoothing the wax and erasing text. Tablets were produced in various sizes and were often joined together into sets, functioning much like modern notebooks.
