But it appears that they were found when the plate was discovered : and that the seal was bell-shaped, and had on it Garuda and a sankha-shell, and a legend giving the name of Jayach[ch]andra. - The average size of the letters is between and The engraving is fairly good, but, as usual, the interiors of some of the letters shew marks of the working of the engraver's tool.
