Everything about Copper-plate Grant totally explained
One of the most important sources of history in the
Indian subcontinent are the royal records of grants engraved on copper-plates (
tamra-shasan or
tamra-patra;
tamra means copper in
Sanskrit and several other Indian languages). Because copper doesn't rust or decay, they can survive virtually indefinitely.
Collections of archaeological texts from the copper-plates and rock-inscriptions have been compiled and published by the
Archaeological Survey of India during the past century.
Approximate dimensions of Copper Plate is 9 3/4 inch long x 3 1/4 inch high x 1/10 (to 1/16) inch thick.
The earliest known copper-plate known as the Sohgaura copper-plate is a
Maurya record that mentions famine relief efforts. It is one of the very few pre-
Ashoka Brahmi inscriptions in India.
