Sahni: “Pit II revealed at the depth of 31/2’ a copper pot (P.II, 13, Plate XXVII, i), which was tightly closed with a smaller copper vessel placed upside down upon it. The jars are similar to those containing jewellery deposits found at Mohenjo-daro, but the contents here were disappointing inasmuch as they consisted of broken copper dishes, common earth and two or three teeth of a wild beast.”
- Daya Ram Sahni, ARASI 1924-25, p. 80.
Below this copper vessel was found the red stone ring in photograph 29.
Vats: “Among the minor antiquities from Stratum I [of Pit II, Mound AB], special mention should be made of a carinated copper pot (PII-13) found by Rai Bahadur Daya Ram Sahni in Pit II at a depth of 3ft. 6 in. below the surface (Pls. CXXIV, 26 and CXXII, 24). It has straight rim and is about the same size as the remarkable copper vessel No. 277 which I found in Trench I. mound F. Like that one, it is covered by a shallow inverted dish but its ocntents proved to be nothing more than ‘broken copper dishes, common earth and two or three teeth of a wild beast’.”
