"Many female figurines have an infant in the left arm but this figurine has a mishapen piece of clay that is not very distinct," writes Dr. Kenoyer. Of a similar figurine found at Nausharo and dated to the Harappan period 2300-2200 BCE (Ancient Cities, p. 223) he writes:

"Fat woman figurine with turbanlike headdress and appliqué ornaments. Bangles are worn on both wrists and upper arms, ankle bracelets and a choker probably represent beaded ornaments. The right hand is held to the mouth and the left hand clutches the heart, in an expression of amazement that is still typical in the subcontinent today."
