c11.9
The hemispherical copper or gold terminals of some of the strings of beads found at Mohenjo-daro and Harappa (Pl. L) are a shape that is at present unknown in Sumer. Terminals similar to these were, however, known in Egypt, but only at the time of the Old Empire, a period roughly contemporary with that of the upper levels of Mohenjo-daro. A pottery candlestick is also paralleled in Egypt by several of the same shape and about the same date (Pl. O, 5).
