A Unicorn Seal

Indus Interior

Mackay speculates on the owner of this building in Block 22, which may have looked something like this sketch by him of another Indus home (p. 154):

I am inclined to think that this building was the house of some rich personage, for it is very compact and the arrangement of the rooms would not have admitted of a large number of people living in them. Indeed, it is possible that it was built for the custodian or controller of the great building adjacent to it on the west.
