Hi @Mharrsch: , this is not a Linear B tablet from Pylos, but a Linear A tablet from Khania on Crete, and is the Khania Museum, not the National Archaeological Museum in Athens (see http://people.ku.edu/~jyounger/LinearA/misctexts.html s.v. KH 5, with a link to a photo confirming it is the same tablet). I have corrected the caption etc, but as the file name is still correct, I suggest reuploading the photo with the correct information.

Thank you for catching this mistake. I uploaded the tablet in the same batch as a Linear B tablet and batch copied the description from the other tablet. I don't think Wikimedia Commons will let me upload the same picture again so I have added a disclaimer in the description asking users to disregard the incorrect file name. I've also added the reference to the Khania Museum in both the caption and the description. Mharrsch (talk) 19:36, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
