A balance in the shape of a pan has been reported from SURKOTADA, a Harappa site. It is bowl-shaped and is made of terracotta, with two perforations for suspension. Taxila is another site which has yielded scale-pans of copper and iron datable to c. 300 B.C. to A.D. 500. They are saucer-shaped with two loop handles for suspension. - [Previous: v1.c11.s29.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s29.6) - [Next: v1.c11.s29.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s29.8) - [Up: v1.c11.s29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s29) ## Linked texts (2) - [Surkotada](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.surkotada) - [Chirand](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.chirand) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s29.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c11.s29.7) · Pramāṇa
