Question

In
ancient times these were used to
buy, sell and donate land. In fact they
were official records. Which of the
following were these? Feast plates
Plates Copper plates​

Answer 1

Indian copper-plate grants, initially issued by ruling kings from the third

century CE onwards and increasingly by private individuals as time passed, are very

specific documents, as they are kept by the grant beneficiaries as title-deeds. They are

usually treated as inscriptions due to them being made of such hard material. However if the main character of an inscription is its being publicly displayed, copperplate grants are not inscriptions, as they were often found buried for safety’s sake.
