Thus there are: iron spearheads(?), arrowheads including barbed ones, daggers, bells, cooking vessels, bowls, knife blades, razors, vegetable cutter, a needle, an antimony rod \[18.1\], a ferrule, a stirrup, ploughshares, sickles, pincers, an anvil, a hammer, wedges, chisels including a socketed one, awls, a trowel, locks and keys \[6.12\], nails and other door accessories and other objects of uncertain use; bronze bowls, bangles, bracelets, finger rings, pendants and a bell; and copper cooking vessels, bells, a bangle, finger rings, an ear-cleaner and an antimony rod. The terracotta objects are mostly of Buddhist affiliation. - [Previous: v2.c45.139](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.139) - [Next: v2.c45.141](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.141) - [Up: v2.c45](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.140](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.ghosh-1989.v2.c45.140) · Pramāṇa
