Copper in Ancient India c7.s1.17

c7.s1.17

Mr. J. Coggin Brown describes a copper celt found in the Palamau District which he describes as a fine specimen, 18.5 cm. long and 15.4 cm. wide across the widest portion. Its greatest thickness, was 2.3 cm. It seems to have been roughly cast and then beaten into its present shape. The form is a very primitive one and closely imitates a well-known stone model. It is related to certain flat forms from the Gunjeria hoard.¹
