Indus Valley Figurines: Slide #43
Back 43. Rhinoceros figurine from Harappa. Forward
 

Although it was surely a wild animal, some of the rhinoceros figurines wear collars. While a collar might indicate domestication, it is unlikely that this is the case with the rhinoceros, although they may have been held as captives. Approximate dimensions (W x H(L) x D): 3.3 x 8.7 x 4.5 cm. (Photograph by Richard H. Meadow)
