The original Phaistos Disc was found in the Minoan palace of Phaistos on the Greek island of Crete, possibly dating to the middle or late Minoan Bronze Age (2nd millennium BC). Its purpose and meaning, and even its original geographical place of manufacture, remain disputed, making it one of the most famous mysteries of archaeology. This unique object is now on display at the archaeological museum of Heraklion. The disc was discovered in 1908 by the Italian archaeologist Luigi Pernier in the Minoan palace-site of Phaistos, and features 241 tokens, comprising 45 unique signs, which were apparently made by pressing pre-formed hieroglyphic "seals" into a disc of soft clay, in a clockwise sequence spiraling towards the disc's center. 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. This Replica of the Phaistos Disc is about 6 inches in diameter x .5 inches thick and covered on both sides with a spiral of stamped symbols. It is made out of solid Resin and has the look of ancient type Reddish clay. It weighs about 3 Pounds and comes with a clear easel stand to set in for Display. This Easel is very unique as it can be either set on a counter or mounted on wall for ease of displaying the object.
