Almost all extant curse-tablets are inscribed on lead or lead alloy, but bronze, tin, potsherds, limestone, gemstones, talc, papyrus and wax were also used. Lead was cheap, flexible, readily available and easy to inscribe with a stylus. It also seems to have been thought to have qualities appropriate for binding spells, since several texts request that the victims be rendered "cold and useless" just like the lead on which the curse was written. Cf. DTA 105-107.
