c15.77

Beside the sweetmeat-mould already referred to, there are flat cake-moulds (Pl. XIII., 4) and jaggery-moulds, the latter deeply carved with intaglio representations of elephants, lions, and sometimes of an *olinda pōruva* or game board, after the manner of butter-moulds in England. Granary seals were also made of wood; one is figured on Pl. XIII., 5.
