First Excavations at Harappa
1924-25: A Lost City Emerges

Harappa Bangles etc.

An assortment of personal ornaments, mostly beads, and a possible nose disc.

Bottom row, 1st from left: Described by Vats as “cog-wheel shaped disc”, of which he found three found from Area H, from a burial jar (no. H149, published in Vats 1940, Vol. II, plate XXXIX, nos. 18-20).
Vats noted these as “nose discs of steatite holed through the centre and incised with a circle on either face” (Vats 1940, Vol I, p. 218).

Bottom row, 4th from left: similar to 3c, Plate CXXXIII, in Vats 1940, Vol. II. The latter is captioned Faience spacing beads with middle rib.
Of spacing beads Vats wrote that those of steatite were not so common (Vats 1940, Vol. I, p. 397)
Top row, 1st left: resembles 7 d, plate CXXXXIII, Vats 1940, Vol. II. No description of the latter in Vats 1940. Possibly a bead, of faience.

NOTE: The find numbers written on the back of the photograph are P (4) 101, B 70, AD 54, PF 43, P (3) 47, P (4) 104, P (4) 105, P (1) 84, AB 815, AB 1037, P(1) 124.
