In an earlier post I asked the question of what ancient engravings on gold plates might look like.

Kristiina Sorenson was kind enough to leave a comment and a link to another picture/site that helps answer the question.

Her comment reads:

The Louvre Museum in Paris has some ancient plates on display. Some are gold; others are made from other metals. They were discovered during the excavation of the palace of Sargon II, the Assyrian king from 721-705 BC. The site is known as Khorsabad, for the modern-day Iraqi city nearby.

Here’s the image shown at the linked site:

Thank you Kristiina for bringing attention to this!
