Embodying Indus Life

Zebu figurine with painted designs from Harappa

Other animal and sometimes anthropomorphic figurines are decorated with black stripes and other patterns, and features such as eyes are also sometimes rendered in pigment. Figurines of cattle with and without humps are found at Indus sites, possibly indicating that multiple breeds of cattle were in use.

Approximate dimensions (W x H(L) x D): 3.9 x 8.5 x 5.5 cm.
