m0582bt. Reverse of copper tablet. Depicts archer. Obverse has an inscription which is identical to the inscription on another copper tablet but with an alternate (vikalpa) glyph: petioles of leaves inlaid with claws of crab. The ligatured glyph is seen as an allograph of archer, kama_t.hiyo which also means in a homonym: kammat.a 'gold furnace, mint.' Another way to depict rebus is to show kamad.ha 'penance' (persons seated in yogic posture).
