EI, IV, No. 25. Kielhorn, F.; SN. No. VII

This charter discovered in the Chikkulla agrahàra (Tuni Division, East Godavari District, A.P.) consists of five copper plates, (each measuring about 7" by 21/4") and a copperring (about 1/4" thick and 3" in diameter) with a circular seal (1 3/8" in diameter) bearing in relief, on a slightly countersunk surface, a well executed lion, which stands to the proper right, raises the right fore-paw, opens the mouth, and apparently has a double tail. The weight of the set is not known. The subjoined transcript is based on the plates of the record published in EI, IV, facing pp. 196-97 (SN).
