uninscribed
Bearing no text
Uninscribed means bearing no inscription—no words, symbols, or markings carved or written on the surface.
An uninscribed tombstone has no name or epitaph.
An uninscribed monument stands without dedication.
The word appears most often in archaeological or memorial contexts: The uninscribed tablet offered no clues to its origin.
