By D. B. Diskalkar
Vol. 2 · No. 1March - 1926pp. 157-158English
Summary
Bhandarkar describes two seals unearthed in the Cutch region. The first bears a legend in early Brāhmī script naming a merchant guild, while the second shows a humped bull standing before a trident. The article provides drawings and a transliteration, notes that the palaeography suggests a date around the first century B.C., and discusses the possible connection with Rudra cults. Bhandarkar points out that the iconography resembles seals from the Indus Valley civilisation, implying continuity in motifs across millennia.
Conclusion
These small objects, Bhandarkar concludes, are valuable evidence for the persistence of mercantile organisation and religious symbolism in western India.
