Mystery at Mound F, Harappa

Large lumps of a bluish grey paste

Large lumps of a bluish grey paste that may have been used to make faience objects. Faience is made by melting quartz rock and then regrinding the glassy frit to make a paste that is then fired once again. Indus faience is sometimes multicolored (see images 82, 36, 47, 49).
