So is it in objects from the earlier historical levels of PRAKASH (Athavale in Thapar, 1964 and 1965, pp. 131-5) and the coins from KAUŚĀMBĪ (Prakash and Singh, 1968). The 18 late historical bronzes at NĀLANDĀ that have been examined have a range of 1·15 to 23·68% (Lal, 1956, pp. 53-7), while one bronze from Kurkihar has 13·00% (Shere, 1961?). A Gupta bronze in the Cleveland Museum has 16·40% (Czuma, 1966, p. 70). but some 12th-century s. Indian bronzes have a low content of tin. - [Previous: v1.c21.s9.t1.25](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s9.t1.25) - [Next: v1.c21.s9.t1.27](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s9.t1.27) - [Up: v1.c21.s9.t1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s9.t1) ## Cites (4) - [Kauśāmbī](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kausambi) - [Nālandā](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.nalanda) - [Prakash](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.prakash) - [Kurkihâr](https://indike.org/pramana/inp.site.kurkihar) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s9.t1.26](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c21.s9.t1.26) · Pramāṇa
