Details A set of five plates, the first and last inscribed only on the inner side, the others on both faces. Neither rims nor their lack has been reported. The hole (1.3 cm in diameter) for the connecting ring is on the left-hand side, vertically at the centre, and horizontally about a quarter of the length from the edge. The connecting ring and seal were not found. Mirashi 1963: 63 and Shastri 1997: 34-35 both consider the third plate spurious (substituted for a lost original third plate). Neither's arguments are conclusive.
