Hidden within one of its walls was a small pottery jar with 36 silver coins, punch-marked \[3.1\] and Greek and Indo-Greek, indicating that the monastery continued in existence till at least A.D. 50. Eight of the punch-marked ones were wrapped in a piece of cloth \[16.16\]. The cloth is a rare find. Scientific examination has shown that 1 sq yard (8·36 sq m) of it would have weighed 3·303 oz. (85·893 g). It was woven from 20s and 16s yarns. The number of strands to 1 inch (25·4 mm) was 50 lengthwise and 34 breadthwise. - [Previous: v2.c29.138](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.138) - [Next: v2.c29.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.140) - [Up: v2.c29](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c29.139) · Pramāṇa
