Golden Artifacts

  • Indus jewelry made of gold, agate and carnelian. The gold filigrees at the top would have been worn around the head, at the bottom is a belt or necklace or carnelian. More gold, this time sequins from the pre-Indus Kot Diji phase (2600-2800 BCE) found at Harappa.

A variety of golden artifacts have been discovered. Here, we see a gold bead collection discovered at Harappa 2000-2001. Other artifacts include a Composite Tubular Gold Bead, a pair of Gold Foiled Beads, and Bell Shaped Gold Ornaments.
