1.	Observe the given picture and answer the question given below:Write a short note on Copper-plate inscriptions.
Answer» The copper-plate shown in the picture was found at Sohagaura in Gorakhpur district in Uttar Pradesh. It is supposed to be from the Mauryan period and the inscription on it is in Brahmi script. Many symbols are inscribed on it ‘Tree-in-railing’ and ‘Mountain’ at the beginning of inscription occur on punch marked coins. A structure created on four pillars is indicative of a granary. The inscriptions have a record of royal order that the grains stored in the granary should be distributed carefully. This order is suggestive of precautionary measures taken during famine.
