Ancient Greek Museum Reproduction Phaistos Disc , Exact replica from Heraklion Museum Crete.
----------The disk is a hand-formed, irregularly-shaped flat circle made from a fine-grained clay and intentionally fired. The disk varies in diameter between 15.8 and 16.1 centimeters, and the thickness ranges between 1.6 and 2.1 cm.
The symbols are similar to glyphs from a variety of languages, including Proto-Ionian, Linear A, Linear B and Indo-European. While many translations have been retailer attempted, the disk does not appear to be in one particular language, but rather a series of unassociated symbols taken from different languages.
The Phaistos Disc captured the imagination of amateur and professional archeologists, and many attempts have been made to decipher the code behind the disc's signs. While it is not clear that it is a script, most attempted decipherments assume that it is; most additionally assume a syllabary, others an alphabet or logography. Attempts at decipherment are generally thought to be unlikely to succeed unless more examples of the signs are found, as it is generally agreed that there is not enough context available for a meaningful analysis.--------
The disk is made by terracotta and the base from stone casting.
