Terra cotta cones
Decorated terra cotta cones are found at both Mohenjo-daro and Harappa, but no one knows what they may have been used for. Some scholars suggest that they were hung on a string as a plumb-bob for use by masons and carpenters.
Movable head of a bovine figurine from Harappa
Some movable figurine heads are pierced in other places, such as through the horns on either side of the head.
Approximate dimensions (W x H(L) x D): 7.2 x 9.4 x 3.0 cm.
Harappa phase baked brick drain
Brick robbing from both directions removed all but the central portion of this drain, but the remaining contents provide an important sequence of Harappan pottery spanning at least 200 years from 2400-2200 BC.

The so-called circular working platform area and workmen's quarters are seen in the mid-ground.
Circular platform
In 1998, the circular platform first exposed by Sir Mortimer Wheeler in 1946 was re-exposed and the area around the platform was expanded to reveal the presence of the room in which it was enclosed.
Spherical agate weight with one side flattened
Spherical agate weight with one side flattened (H2000-4496/9880-01). This weight does not conform to the standard Harappan weight system and may indicate the use of a separate weight system for international trade with Central Asia or other regions.
