The Script of Harappa and Mohenjodaro and its Connection with Other Scripts c7.s1.45

c7.s1.45

Mostly of limestone or steatite. The inscribed surface is flat but the reverse is convex, varying in thickness from 2-3 mm. at the edges to 7-12 mm. at the centre. At the centre they are perforated breadth-wise by a single hole. There is no accompanying design either on the face of the seal or elsewhere. The rectangular pieces of stamped clay (see discussion of Nos. 1-20) were probably obtained from seals similar to these. It will be noted that on the seals, as on the copper coins, the commonest final sign is ⋁ , and the next commonest ♆ (with variants).
