This cuneiform rolling pin measures 20 cm in length and is designed for making a large gingerbread tablet.

Get your Gilgamesh on and make this epic edible the centre-piece of your holiday table this year. Pre-orders are available if current stock sells out! Note: this roller creates an embossed script as opposed to an impressed one. Buy your own today in the Tavola Shop!

Instructions for Use:

This rolling pin creates a cuneiform script relief and will roll the impression on to the gingerbread dough beautifully, without sticking or pulling the dough up, if you work with the dough chilled and dust a bit of flour on the pin or dough surface prior to rolling. See the images below for the end result! Don’t forget to use the Tavola gingerbread recipe and baking instructions for this pin as the dough is firm and will hold the impressions beautifully during baking.

    Hi, I’m a near eastern archaeologist, who of course had to do a bit of Accadian.
    Could you tell me exactly waht part and variant of the Gilgamesh epic is used?
    The signs don’t come out mirrored the wrong way, do they?
    Thank you for letting me know 🙂
