The complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir is a clay tablet that was sent to the ancient city-state Ur, written c. 1750 BCE. The tablet, measuring 11.6 cm high and 5 cm wide, documents a transaction in which Ea-nāṣir, a trader, sold sub-standard copper to a customer named Nanni. Nanni, dissatisfied with the quality, wrote a cuneiform complaint addressing the poor service and mistreatment of his servant. Discovered by Sir Leonard Woolley in Ur, it is currently kept in the British Museum. Written in Akkadia
