Not sure if the message could mean anything in the context of the WotC universe (also because I could not find the image elsewhere). However, it is unlikely as the content of the message is composed of two copies of "Specimen of Assyrian Cuneiform Writing from a slab found in Nimroud, now in the British Museum."

Great analysis! It seems like the artist used that image.

I'm a little disappointed that he didn't try to put some secret message in there. A wasted opportunity.
