| Notes: | DANAM catalogue entry: cfda8e92-967a-4a35-8661-522aa0ebffa6 Type of writing support: Pedestal; The marble slab is set into the plinth of the miniature shrine. Text legibility: Mostly legible; Many parts of the upper edge have chipped off and have rendered the text of the first and second line partially illegible. It seems that some of the plaster during the last renovation of the plinth ran down the marble and was only removed later. The akṣaras stained with plaster are nevertheless mostly legible. |
