Male figurine with a fan-shaped headdress from Harappa

Most male figurines from Harappa do not wear headdresses. An unusual exception is a standing male figurine wearing a fan-shaped headdress usually worn by female figurines as well as a choker with pendants. This may be a representation of an alternative gender.

Approximate dimensions (W x H x D): 5.0 x 13.2 x 3.0 cm.
