Indian Epigraphy c9.t6.4

c9.t6.4

Generally stone slabs were at first inscribed and then fixed into their proper place in the foundations or walls of temples, step-wells, etc. Such slabs had often raised or lined borders. Stone slabs bearing carefully engraved inscriptions, such as the *Lalitavigraharāja* and *Harakelināṭaka* inscriptions in the Ajmer Museum, show that sometimes a break or damage in the stone was covered up with metal.
