Sometimes the plates were preserved in a specially made stone casket or coffer. Thus the Kalegaon plates² of Yādava Mahādeva were found inside a stone box made of two slabs of stone firmly joined together. The upper slab measures 22 inches by 15½ inches by 7 inches and has a hollow (4½ inches in depth) curved in the inner surface of it while the lower slab measures 24 inches by 16½ inches by 7 inches with a similar hollow (1½ inches deep) in its upper surface. The set of three plates, each measuring 15 inches by 11 inches by ¼ inch and together weighing 1075 tolas, was found inside the box which was dug out of the ground.
