Two specimens (both fragments of bangles, light-blue in colour, with cavities and holes in section and specks of green glaze) from BHAGWANSAR-1, a Rang Mahal site, have the following compositions: SiO—86·45, 86·84; Fe₂O₃—1·47, 1·31; Al₂O₃—4·45, 4·42; CaO—1·74, 1·91; MgO—0·60, 0·49; CuO—1·60, 1·71; alkalies—3·69, 3·31; total in both cases—100·00. - [Previous: v1.c21.s6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s6.4) - [Next: v1.c21.s6.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s6.6) - [Up: v1.c21.s6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s6) ## Linked texts (1) - [Baror](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.baror) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s6.5](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s6.5) · Pramāṇa
