c9.t11.1

Many bronze images bear inscriptions, in most cases on the pedestal. An inscribed bronze casket was discovered at Manikiala.¹ The early inscription known as the Sohgaura copper plate is really written on a small bronze plaque.² The seals affixed to the copper-plate grants are generally made of bronze. They often bear a legend along with the royal emblems and were cast in moulds and later affixed to the plates on the copper rings on which the plates were strung or on the plates themselves when the charters were incised on single plates.
