The copper double axes from HALLUR seem to be more a cult object than a functional axe. \[See also BHAGRA PIR\]. The flat copper axes are reminiscent of those from JORWE. Knowledge of gold-working for making ornaments found at sites of Karnataka decidedly warrants a high degree of proficiency of the craft. Stone beads, particularly steatite disc beads, recall their prototypes of the Harappa culture \[4.9\]. - [Previous: v1.c9.s14.t2.6](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.6) - [Next: v1.c9.s14.t2.8](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.8) - [Up: v1.c9.s14.t2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.7](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v1.c9.s14.t2.7) · Pramāṇa
