Late Indus Reconstructed Pot
Harappa, Punjab ancient Indus civilization excavations, figurines, seals and other objects.
Tiger? figurine
Tiger or leopard figurine with incised facial features, including punctated dots on the face that could be whisker marks. This figurine depicts a normal feline without horns or human face and therefore probably represents the actual wild animal.
Stone with Hole
The object published in ARASI 1924-25, Plate XXVII (h)
The object has been photographed from a distance in this, in comparison to the published photograph. The scale in front and a rod/scale at the back of the object is visible in both photographs.

Bird figurine/whistle from Harappa
Other bird figurines have no wings depicted at all and either stand on a circular base or on two legs that were inserted into the base of the body (only holes remain). Still others have no legs depicted at all.
Harappa phase brick wall remains
The brick wall may have been the foundation for a wooden superstructure and the white tags show where wooden posts were fixed. The doorway and threshold are located on the right side of the photograph above the scale.
