Another aquatic creature represented in the figurine corpus of Harappa is the fish, which has applied fins, incised gills, and a vertical hole through the center of its body. Like the gharial, the fish is also a common motif on tablets as well as in the Indus script. Approximate dimensions (W x H(L) x D): 1.5 x 6.4 x 1.6 cm. (Photograph by Sharri R. Clark)
