This hoard is hence popularly known as the Mandi treasure. The hoard included varieties of beads, bead joints, spacer beads and thin circular diskettes, similar to the one listed here. The listed artifact is a fine example of the metallurgical capability of the Indus Valley people, extremely fine, very rare. Note: In June 2000, archaeological excavations in the Mandi village of Muzaffarnagar district—situated approximately 200 kilometers northeast of Delhi—unearthed a monumental hoard of Harappan artifacts concealed within a copper urn. Regionally designated as the Mandi Treasure, this significant Bronze Age repository contained a diverse assemblage of antiquities, including micro-beads, intricate bead joints, spacer segments, and thin circular diskettes equivalent to the specimen cataloged here. This particular artifact serves as an extraordinary testament to the advanced pyrotechnic and metallurgical sophistication of the Indus Valley Civilization, representing an exceptionally rare and pristine survival of ancient craftsmanship.
