Two specimens have been found to be made of lead; both of them are free from copper, iron, tin, zinc and silver. Nickel has been detected in traces in one lead specimen, whereas the other specimen shows 99.54 per cent of lead. It seems that lead of a high degree of purity was manufactured by the metal-workers of Lothal. (Rao, 655)
