A vase-shaped ink-pot of bronze fixed on a pedestal has been recovered from NĀLANDĀ. Datable to the 8th to 10th century, it is decorated with Buddhist figures on the top of the rim. Indigenous ink-pots of various shapes are still used in India and are mostly of glass or terracotta and rarely of metal.
