84. Steatite beads.

These tiny steatite beads were found in the Harappan cemetery and come from an elaborate hair ornament worn by a male individual. Each bead is less than .01 cm long and less than .01 cm diameter. A human hair is shown to give an idea of the minute size of these beads. Harappa, Lot 136-04 Harappa Museum, H87-664 Dales and Kenoyer 1990: 89-91, fig. 33
