The Mampalli copper plate , also romanised as Mamballi, records a donation from the chiefly family of Venad, present-day Kerala, to the Chengannur Temple. The inscription is the earliest epigraphical record to mention the Kollam Era.
The record is engraved on both sides of a single copper plate in Vattezhuthu with Grantha characters in an early form of Malayalam language. The plate was originally owned by Mampalli Madhom, near Trivandrum.
A second plate, companion to the first one and ascribed approximately to the same date, is owned by Mampalli Madhom.
