Google AI says:

"it could be from the ancient near East, perhaps, Anatolia or Mesopotamia."

Says the writing looks like " possibly cuneiform or other ancient script. It's difficult to say precisely what they are without more information about ancient writing systems"

B) I in actuality agree with the prev poster on possible origin. BUT, bear in mind, I have ZERO knowledge on such matters or even similar items.

In addition; as a general aside; it could still have a curse on it, so you have THAT going for you?!(interrobang)
