Well, if anything, it looks like it was made for clay impressions. It looks like a pretty fancy handle. Maybe an official stamp. Tax? Postage? Toll fee paid? Assay stamp? Weight and purity?

It looks like it only has four characters on it. I think that would rule out a single letter, or phonic in a word, or even a complete word. A calendar script maybe. A notary public seal or King's seal or coin stamp?

Appears to have the geometry and simplicity of Greek.

It has little similarity or none at all to Sumerian or Cuneiform.
