What does the assembly of five svastika signify? It is a veneration of a zinc subimation assembly process, it is a temple just as kole.l 'smithy, forge' is kole.l 'temple'.
I suggest a rebus Santali Meluhha reading: mōṝẽ jasta, sattva 'five svastika' rebus: mōṝẽ jasta, sattva 'zinc assembly'. Drummer hiroglyph is a semantic determinative: mandari 'drummer' munda 'Toda village or assembly' mondir 'temple'
This monograph demonstrates that the hypertext combination of 1. five svastika; 2. drummer;'and 3.tiger signifies kol 'alloy of five metals', mōṝẽ'five', mondir'temple'. mẽṛhẽt 'metal (iron)' Related text message signifies मृदु mṛdu, mẽṛhẽt, meḍ 'metal'. Thus, kol mẽṛhẽt is an expression which is a wealth-accounting, metalwork ledger of kolhe'smelter' producing jasta, sattva'svastika' rebus: jasta, sattva'zinc' PLUS mẽṛhẽt 'metal (iron)' mondir 'temple'.
-- kol 'tiger' rebus kol 'alloy of five metals' kol 'working in iron', five, mōṝẽ svastika Indus Script hypertext signifies assembly, mondir temple
--Tiger, drummer, five svastika signify mōṝẽ 'five' rebus mandari 'drummer' munda 'Toda village or assembly' mondir 'temple

Sign 403 is a duplication of 'oval or rhombus' hieroglyph Sign 267 which has the shape of a bun ingot: mũhã̄ 'bun ingot' . Duplication signifies dula 'two' rebus: dul 'metal casting'. Thus Sign 403 reads: dul mũhã̄ ' metal casting, bun ingot' .
