Thankyou Olikara! thats excelent!

Inscribed in 1826 or early 27 Then! Interesting re. Gorakhnath inscription as well. "Help of Gorkhanath" I understand some of those found in 1975 with a slightly different inscription were inscribed "Helper of Lord Gorakhanath" Soits interesting to try to see the context. Fantastic!

Many thanks!

Thanks for posting this Spiral; it's quite different from the ersatz piece we saw and discussed earlier .

This one looks quite functional .
