Copper plate inscriptions

Copper plate inscriptions are inscriptions carved into copper sheets or plaques, often used in ancient and medieval times for official records, royal decrees, religious texts, or commemorations. These inscriptions are created by meticulously engraving characters onto the metal surface, which preserves the text clearly and durably. They served as valuable historical documents due to their longevity and were often used for important messages intended to last for generations. Copper plates could be easily transported and stored, making them an effective medium for recording laws, treaties, and cultural information across different civilizations.
