Embodying Indus Life

Early Harappan female figurine with painted features from Harappa

Another style of Early Harappan female figurine holds a round object, possibly a vessel, with both hands at the waist above a flaring lower body which ends in a (broken) forward-extending base. The hair is bound at the back of the head into a tiered hairstyle. Details such as a necklace with long pendants, bangles, and grid-like lines possibly depicting textile designs are painted in black.

Approximate dimensions (W x H x D): 3.7 x 7.9 x 2.4 cm.
