Early Dynastic Period in Mesopotamia inscribed for a temple in the city state of Lagash, Mesopotamia, circa  2310 BCE.

Votive cones of this type were pressed into the outer walls of Sumerian temples as foundation dedications, their inscribed bases facing outward to identify the ruler or official who commissioned the building. This example is inscribed in the name of Nam-makh-ni, Viceroy of Lagash, a high official of the Sumerian city-state during the late Early Dynastic period.
