It measures 7”x 5%” and is 3 lbs. or 1866°6 tolas in weight. 
These are illustrated in Plate IV. 
To the above lists four more implements are to be added. 
One of them is a sword which is in the possession of Mr. 
A. RB 
culars of it are given. It is, however, said to be a ‘‘ very inter- 
esting ancient copper celt which was given by Captain R. A. 
Lyall, 1.A., Political Agent of Kurram’’ as a present to the 
eshawar Museum where it is now probably deposited.” It is 
illustrated in Plate V. 
whole of these implements the majority appear to have been 
found in Cawnpore. Apparently they were meant for killing 
crocodiles, alligators, etc: rather than as weapons of war. 
their shape does not ‘fail to remind the reader of the Sanskrit 
epics of the different varieties of the arrows mentioned in 
them. Besides this the parasu (axe or hatchet) is also well 
known as a weapon of warfare.

a beautiful copper arrow head recently discovered near Campbellpur and 
now in the possession of a resident there.
