Dr. Kenoyer writes (Ancient Cities, p. 84):
"The elephant is also an important symbol of power that in later historical periods came to be associated with royalty, wealth and the deity Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Elephant seals fall in the medium-size range, and like the bull seals they are found primarily at the largest sites, Mohenjo-daro and Harappa (fig. 5.2 [above]). The few examples of elephant seals found at Kalibangan and Jhukar reinforce the links between these sites and the larger urban centers, but perhaps the most important evidence comes from numerous clay sealings from a single elephant seal that were recovered from a burned storehouse at the site of Lothal. These sealings were attached to goods that were being traded by a merchant or landowner who used an elephant seal, but the original seal has not been found."
