19. Golavalli or Parlakimedi plates.
IO, II, I, 54-56. (S.Rajaguru=SR); EI XXXV, No. 31 (S. C. De); SN. No. XV.

This set of copper plates ([This is No. A 58 of A.R. Ep. 1955-56. It was published by Mr. S. N. Rajaguru in his Inscriptions tf Orinsa, Vol. I, Part ii, pp. 54-56 and Plates.-Ed.]) was received by me from the Principal, K. C. G. College, Parlakimedi, who is also the President of the District Regional Survey Committee, Ganjam. The find-spot of the set is not known. It was in the possession of Sri Balaram Patra who is now living at Parlakimedi, though he was a resident of Tekkali about 45 years ago. He had three sets of copper plates with him, two of which were made over to the late Raja Saheb Lakshmmarayan Harichandan Jagadeb of Tekkali. The present set has recently been purchased by the Permanent Regional Survey Committee, Orissa.
The set consists of three plates, the first and third of which are engraved on the inner side only. The right half of the third plate is broken and missing. The plates measure 7-5" by 2-3" each. The engraved surfaces of the plates have slightly raised rims. They were held together by a ring which is now broken. A seal seems to have been attached to it originally, though there is no trace of it at present. The diameter of the ring-hole in the plates is 1/2".(S. C. De)
