Dr. Hrishikesh Shenoy's discovery of an Ujjain Jeweller's seal

[Guest guest]

Dr. Hrishikesh is a surgeon in UK, also a numismatics enthusiast, who

happened to see this seal 6" square with a jeweller in Ujjain. He

reported about this find on IndiaArchaeology and IndianCivilization

lists.

 

The three peaks glyph which is one of the three glyphs of this Ujjain

jeweller's seal also occurs as a glyph on top line of Sohgaura copper

plate (with remaining lines as Brahmi inscription), together with two

glyphs of two ku_t.a_gha_ra mentioned in the Brahmi inscription. The

Sohgaura copper plate thus constitutes the Rosetta stone for decoding

Sarasvati hieroglyphs. The photographs are attached.

 

This continuing tradition of Sarasvati hieroglyphs helps validate

decoding hieroglyphs of the so-called Pas'upati seal as the inventory

of a mint or smithy.
