Written in Devanagari. The English writing at the back says ? Sumptur 54 (64?) (Bundelkhand). This probably refers to Samthar, one of the princely states of Bundelkhand. Can make out the date 1810. Believe Ranjit Singh I Ju Deo was Raja during this period. [Information provided by Danika Parikh, Department of Archaeology]
