Two male figurines with painted hair from Harappa

The hair of male figurines is sometimes bound into a sort of folded bun or mounded on top of the head and secured by a headband or a fillet. The hair may be painted black and sometimes also has a punctate decoration.

Approximate dimensions (W x H x D): 5.6 x 5.1 x 2.8 cm. and 1.7 x 3.2 x 2.2 cm.
