Arabic translation:كوبونات (أو طوابع) تموين صلصالية (من الصلصال)ـ
Explanation:
The answer is based on the assumption that (ration receipts) are (food stamps).

--------------------------------------------------

(receipt) could be (إيصال أو إشعار). It is true that (الكوبون والطابع) are made of paper but their images could be represented in any form (clay, glass, etc.). Please note that the idea of (ration receipts) is relatively new compared to the time of using clay as a material. Nevertheless, (رقعة أو لوحة) could be used instead of (الكوبون والطابع).

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Ahmed, your proposed translation is quite good, but can you think of an alternative of كوبون or طابع for the word receipts; I need something more relevant to Clay (those two words are more culturally relevant to paper as far as I know)
