I dont know if anybody has see this on Twitter. But I find it absolutely fascinating. This tablet obviously reminds me of some sort of astrolabe and the camel carving is even more surprising since It seems to evidence of some sort of figurative tradition existing in somalia either right before the islamic period or in the early islamic period.
Part of why I find it so fascinating is that these kinds of items wouldn't appear in a vacuum it obviously speaks to a certain level of urbanism and craftsmanship/technical knowledge people had at this time.
