| Details | A single plate, rimless, of copper lighter in colour than OB00115. A badly worn circular seal is attached to a projecting portion of the plate on the left side. The seal is lighter-coloured copper than the plate, has no rim, and is 6.3 cm in diameter. The seal is in relief on a countersunk surface. The upper two thirds of the seal are occupied by a standing female figure (Lakṣmī?), with a small standing attendant on her left and what looks like a sapling tree on her right. At the sides, two elephants stand semi-erect, pouring water on her. The lower one third bears the seal inscription. |
