Another class of objects, even if incomplete, were also immediately familiar to Day Ram Sahni:
"(16) An earthen instrument for making twines. It is a curved shaped piece with five holes, one of which is broken off. Each hole received a strand, all five of which combined into the completed twine. The exact purpose of this piece is, however, uncertain. (No. C 25.) I have recently noticed a similar object among the Central Asian antiquities deposited in the Indian Museum, Calcutta."

"These curved terracotta objects are actually the sides of toy oxcarts that were connected together with small wooden rods. The projection at the top has two holes that allow for an axle with two wheels to be attached to the cart. For more discussion see Kenoyer J. M. 2009.
