First Excavations at Harappa
1923-24: Unearthing the Mysteries of Harappa

Three Inscribed Seals

The central unicorn seal is the same as the one pictured earlier. The rectangular seal fragment on the left is a style of seal without any animal motif and starts to be found at Harappa starting around 2450-2200 BCE (Harappa Period 3B) and 2200-1900 BCE (Harappa Period 3C). The broken unicorn seal on the right has an inscription style that also dates to latest part of the Harappa Phase, Period 3C.
